UAE VAT Voluntary Disclosure Penalty Calculator

What this calculator does

If you find an error in a VAT return you've already filed, correcting it through a Voluntary Disclosure now costs a flat 1% per month on the tax difference, counted from the day after the original return's due date until you submit the disclosure — provided you disclose it before the FTA notifies you of a tax audit. If the FTA finds the error first, a fixed 15% penalty applies on top of the same monthly charge. This replaced the old tiered 5%-40% penalty bands under Cabinet Decision No. 129 of 2025, effective 14 April 2026. This tool estimates your voluntary disclosure penalty.

This calculator provides an indicative estimate for guidance purposes only. It does not cover Excise Tax voluntary disclosures (a similar but separate penalty track) or the specific mechanics of what counts as 'audit notification.' PrimeLedger Consultancy FZCO does not accept responsibility for the accuracy of the figures produced by this tool. Please cross-check your result with a qualified expert, such as PrimeLedger, and refer to official Federal Tax Authority guidance before submitting a Voluntary Disclosure.
