VAT voluntary disclosure penalty calculator
The same error costs 5% to confess in year one and 40% in year five — plus everything changes the day an audit notice lands. Enter the numbers and see why the answer is always now.

The ladder: 5% within the first year of the due date, then 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% beyond year four — plus the AED 1,000/2,000 fixed penalty. All of this assumes disclosure before an audit notice; after one, the reduced ladder is gone and exposure jumps. Errors of AED 10,000 or less are corrected in the next return, no Form 211 needed.
