The right of a
taxpayer to contest
the application of penalties
Any person who is subject to taxation has the legal right to raise an objection to any of the penalties that have been outlined by the relevant authorities. You have the option of submitting a request to have the imposed penalty re-evaluated. When requesting a reassessment, a taxpayer is required to provide a valid rationale for their request.
Registrants who fail to clear any penalties within the allotted window can seek the advice and assistance of a VAT professional as a supplementary remedy.
When does the FTA have the authority to
lessen or eliminate administrative
penalties?
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) holds the authority to reduce or waive administrative penalties for individuals who breach VAT Law, under specific conditions. These conditions include possessing a valid explanation for the breach, providing proof of both the explanation and the breach leading to penalties, and formally requesting a concession or waiver within ten working days after the explanation’s validity period. Additionally, the individual must not have received any administrative fines or sanctions in the two years preceding the request and must demonstrate that the infringement has been rectified. This framework allows for leniency in cases where the breach is justified and corrected, ensuring fair treatment under the VAT Law.
