What Is Corporate Tax Audit?
A corporate tax audit is an independent examination of a company’s financial records and tax filings to verify accurate calculation, reporting, and payment of corporate tax under UAE Federal Decree-Law. It reviews taxable income calculations, allowable deductions, exemptions, and compliance with Federal Tax Authority requirements. Corporate tax audits can be conducted proactively before filing or triggered by the FTA as part of a regulatory review.
