Voluntary Disclosures

Voluntary disclosure allows UAE businesses to correct VAT or tax errors proactively before the Federal Tax Authority identifies them. Many businesses discover mistakes in past VAT returns, calculations, or classifications but delay action due to fear of penalties or uncertainty about the process.

Zama provides voluntary disclosure services to help businesses correct errors transparently and in compliance with UAE tax regulations. Proper voluntary disclosure can significantly reduce penalties and demonstrate good compliance intent to the authorities.

This service is critical for businesses that want to resolve issues before they escalate into audits or enforcement actions.
