The Challenge
"Ms. Anna (name changed), a Ukrainian taxpayer with UAE obligations, was stranded in Ukraine by the war — flights cancelled, travel impossible. She missed her compliance through no fault of her own and was hit with an AED 20,000 FTA penalty."
Our Approach
We built an evidence-backed waiver request, proving her non-compliance was caused by circumstances beyond her control — and, when the FTA asked for more, supplied flight bookings and airline cancellation proof linked directly to the war.
The Result
The FTA accepted our case and waived 70% of the penalty — cutting her liability from AED 20,000 to just AED 6,000.
The Takeaway
“When life makes compliance impossible, the right representation makes all the difference. We don't just file paperwork — we stand up for our clients”
