Tax Audits & Investigations The key to success lies in being well-prepared. Trust our tax specialists to support you in handling the complexities of a tax audit or investigation.

Implement proactive strategies to address tax audit and investigation risks

To ensure taxpayers' compliance with the laws and regulations of the Tax Authority, Yemeni Tax Authority has developed and updated tax legislation in light of the state's financial and economic policies, where tax audits are an essential tool used by the Tax Authority (“TA”) to ensure taxpayers are in compliance with the relevant tax laws and regulations. Accordingly, any non-compliance will potentially attract hefty penalties.

Therefore, it is essential to confirm that your company or you as a taxpayer have properly addressed your tax duties and have established relevant supporting paperwork to uphold the position adopted during a tax audit or investigation.

If you find yourself in the midst of a tax audit or investigation, it is important to consider the various strategies and defensive positions that can help minimize your tax obligations.
