Contact us early
Before records are submitted or positions are explained.
An early review helps identify missing documents, inconsistencies and technical points before the response is finalised.
Tax audit notification
The company receives notice of a Corporate Tax audit or is asked to make records and personnel available for review.
Assessment or penalty
The FTA issues a decision that needs to be checked against the return, correspondence and applicable procedural time limits.
How we assist
The response plan is built around the specific FTA communication and the company’s filed records.
- Review the notice, legal entity, Tax Period, requested information and response date
- Create a controlled request list and responsibility tracker for the finance team
- Reconcile the Tax Return to financial statements, ledgers and supporting schedules
- Review the technical position and prepare factual explanations or response papers
- Organise the evidence pack and correspondence trail for submission
- Support meetings, follow-up questions and review of the FTA’s findings within the agreed authority
What we need first
Please provide complete copies rather than screenshots of isolated pages where possible.
- The FTA notice, enquiry or decision and all accompanying attachments
- Filed Corporate Tax Return, tax computation and submission acknowledgement
- Financial statements, trial balance, ledgers and relevant reconciliations
- Contracts, invoices, bank records and evidence for the matters under review
- Related-party schedules and transfer-pricing records where requested

Working process
Keep the response controlled from the first day.
Secure the deadline
We read the notice, confirm open dates and establish who will collect, review and approve each item.
Build the response
We reconcile the figures, test the supporting evidence and draft the factual and technical explanations.
Submit and follow up
The approved response is organised for submission, with later questions and findings tracked to closure.
7 years
