Received a VAT penalty or assessment from the Federal Tax Authority that you believe is wrong? You have a limited window to file a formal reconsideration request. Our team builds the evidence-backed case your business needs — clearly argued, properly referenced, and submitted before the deadline closes.
Book Free ConsultationWhen the Federal Tax Authority issues a decision you disagree with — a penalty, a rejected refund, or a reassessment — you can formally ask the FTA to review it through a reconsideration request. It's a written submission, and it has to be filed within a strict deadline of the original decision, with a clear legal and factual basis for why the decision should change.
A weak or late submission almost always fails. Our team builds the case properly: reviewing the original decision, gathering the supporting documentation, and drafting a submission structured the way the FTA expects to see it, so your business gets a genuine chance at a favorable outcome.

The FTA sets a strict statutory window from the date of the original decision, so it's important to act as soon as the penalty or assessment is received rather than waiting.
If the FTA upholds its original decision, the case can potentially be escalated to the Tax Disputes Resolution Committee, and we can help prepare that submission as well.
This depends on the specific circumstances of the case, and we'll walk you through the implications for your situation during the initial consultation.
