BSA LAW is pleased to announce a significant success achieved by its Tax practice, led by Partner and Head of Tax, Shamma Al Falahi.

The Firm’s client had previously sought relief from value-added tax (VAT) penalties under the regime of Federal Decree‑Law No. (8) of 2017 on VAT and Federal Decree‑Law No. (7) of 2017 on Tax Procedures after multiple prior attempts had been unsuccessful. Upon engagement, BSA LAW conducted an in-depth review of the client’s VAT position and procedural history and then engaged in a comprehensive legal analysis and constructive dialogue with the relevant tax authoritie

As a result of this approach, the VAT penalties were fully waived in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. This outcome underscores the value of procedural accuracy, diligent representation and deep tax-law expertise in achieving fair results within the UAE’s transparent and established tax-framework.

“At BSA LAW, we remain committed to upholding our clients’ rights with precision, professionalism and integrity,” said Shamma Al Falahi. “This matter exemplifies how focused tax and regulatory advice can lead to meaningful relief.”
