FTA Penalty Reconsideration

FTA penalty reconsideration is a formal process that allows UAE businesses to challenge penalties imposed by the Federal Tax Authority when they believe the penalty has been applied incorrectly or without proper consideration of circumstances. Unlike penalty waiver applications, reconsideration focuses on reviewing the authority’s decision itself rather than requesting relief due to hardship.

Many businesses pay penalties without realizing that reconsideration may be available. Others attempt to submit reconsideration requests without proper documentation or legal reasoning, which often results in rejection. A successful reconsideration requires a structured approach, clear justification, and accurate supporting evidence.

Zama provides FTA penalty reconsideration services to help UAE businesses review penalties, assess reconsideration eligibility, and submit professionally prepared requests. Our service is designed to ensure that valid cases are presented clearly and correctly to the authority.

How Zama Delivers Penalty Reconsideration Services

Zama begins by reviewing the penalty notice and related filings to understand why the penalty was imposed. We assess whether the facts, timelines, and compliance history support a reconsideration request.

Once eligibility is confirmed, we prepare a structured reconsideration submission that clearly outlines the grounds for review. Supporting documents are included to strengthen the case and demonstrate compliance intent.

We submit the request through the Federal Tax Authority portal and manage communication until a decision is issued.
