What is a VAT Amendment?
A VAT amendment involves updating the details of your VAT registration with the FTA. This process is required when certain business information changes after your initial VAT registration, such as changes to business name, address, or contact details. Keeping these details current is mandatory to avoid non-compliance penalties.
When Should You Amend Your VAT Details?
- Change of Business Address or Contact Details : These must be updated immediately to ensure you receive all official communications from the FTA.
- Change in Bank Details : Updating your bank details is essential to receive VAT refunds without issues.
- VAT Grouping Changes : Any alterations in VAT group membership or structure must be promptly amended.
- VAT Grouping Changes : Structural changes in ownership require immediate amendments to ensure your registration remains valid.

- The 'Exception from VAT registration' under the section 'About the VAT application' cannot be changed directly.
