    Reconsideration for Fine & Penalty Services in UAE

    In the UAE, businesses must abide by a large number of tax obligations and comply with regulatory requirements. It is essential for the companies to be careful and avoid such situations as non-compliance, late submissions, or inaccuracies in filing if they are not willing to pay penalties and fines that might be imposed by authorities such as the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). However, in some scenarios, the penalties may be due to misunderstandings, errors, or unforeseen circumstances. The UAE government allows businesses to say a reconsideration request to contest such sanctions and fines. At Vigor Accounting Tax, we provide experienced reconsideration for fine and penalty services, hence, we can help businesses in developing sound arguments whenever a review and a possible deduction of penalties is proposed.

    Understanding Fines and Penalties in the UAE

    Businesses operating in the UAE are subject to various regulations and deadlines related to VAT, corporate tax, and other compliance obligations. Failure to meet these requirements can result in fines, including

    • Late Payment Penalties

      Fines for not paying taxes or submitting returns on time.

    • Incorrect Filing

      Inaccuracies in tax returns can lead to penalties if they are not promptly corrected.

    • Non-Compliance

      Failure to comply with specific FTA regulations, such as maintaining proper records or registering for VAT when required, can also attract penalties

    These penalties could have a very negative effect on the business’s financial situation, and the time taken to deal with them is of immeasurable importance. However, there are instances where a fine or penalty may have been issued due to incorrect assumptions or errors beyond the company’s control. In such cases, businesses have the right to submit a reconsideration request.

    What is a Reconsideration Request?

    A reconsideration request is the formal and official petition submitted to the FTA or other relating regulatory bodies so that they made reviews of the imposed penalty or the fine to a business. This claim provides businesses with the opportunity to state the material facts, give evidence, and to apply for a new evaluation of the imposed fines or penalties. Therefore, it serves as a platform for businesses to argue that the fine was subjected to them wrongly or the fact that some factors had to be considered to reduce the penalties

    FTA follows a very strict process for acceptance of these appeals, but these requests must be properly prepared to present a chance of being successful. The primary requirement for filing such claims is possessing the knowledge of the legal frame, deadlines, and the documentation that should be presented which is a key to laying out a solid reason for the requested reconsideration.

    Key Steps in Filing a Reconsideration Request

    At Vigor Accounting & Taxation LLC, we assist businesses in navigating the reconsideration process, ensuring that all requirements are met. The key steps involved include

    01
    Assessment of the Fine or Penalty
    If the first step is to assess the nature of the fine or penalty imposed, then the next step is to determine whether there is valid necessity for that case to be reviewed again. This might be achieved by the state of affairs that caused the fine, finding out any mistakes during the initial statement, or proving that the fine is not in line with the regulation.
    02
    Drafting the Reconsideration Request
    The reconsideration request must be submitted in writing to the FTA or relevant authority. We assist in making a request that explains why the penalty should be reconsidered. We include evidence and ensure that request meets regulations.
    03
    Gathering Supporting Documentation
    A successful request to review your case needs solid evidence to support your claim. This may include financial records, correspondence with the FTA, legal documents, or other materials that demonstrate why the penalty should be reviewed. At Vigor Accounting & Taxation, we help businesses gather all relevant documentation and organize it effectively for submission.
    04
    Submission and Follow-Up
    Once the request is completed, it must be submitted within the 20 business days deadline from the date the penalty was imposed. After submission, we monitor the progress of the case, respond to any further inquiries from the authorities, and provide ongoing support until a final decision is reached.

    Common Challenges in Reconsideration Requests

    There is no certainty in the reconsideration process. The penalty can be either pardoned or rejected and that makes it a challenging process for businesses. These includes

    01
    Strict Deadlines
    Reconsideration requests have to be made within a given time frame, otherwise, the request will be rejected if they are.
    02
    Complex Documentation
    The FTA asks for the point-by-point and a clear view of the whole situation. So, qualification and chest radiography results should be clear and accurate.
    03
    Legal and Regulatory Knowledge
    Knowing the legal basis and which are to be considered for a reconsideration request is the most important thing. More often than not, companies have to consult legal and tax consultants to check that their points are valid and are in compliance with the UAE laws.
