Fines Aren’t Final—Let’s Reduce or Remove Them.
A VAT reconsideration is a formal legal process where a taxpayer requests the Federal Tax
Authority (FTA) to review and reverse an unfavorable decision, such as:
• Rejected VAT refund applications
• Rejected voluntary disclosures
• VAT registration/deregistration refusals
• Disallowance of input VAT claims
• Disputes over tax assessments or audits
This request must be filed within 20 business days from the date the FTA’s decision is
communicated. It must include a valid reason, be backed with supporting evidence, and
submitted in Arabic, as required by FTA rules.
