ZeroSync Accountants reviews FTA corporate tax assessments, checks the figures and technical basis, maps the response deadline and helps you choose the right route before options close.
Best for businesses that received an FTA assessment, adjusted tax figure, penalty, audit outcome, disputed position or payment demand.
A corporate tax assessment is the FTA’s formal view of what tax or penalties are due. That view may be correct, partly correct or based on incomplete information. The safest response is to review the assessment before paying or challenging it.
ZeroSync checks the figures, the technical basis, the evidence already provided and any deadlines, then recommends the most practical route.
| Why an assessment may land | What it may miss | What ZeroSync checks |
|---|---|---|
| Audit adjustment | Evidence not fully considered | Whether the position can still be supported |
| Return deemed incorrect | A relief or interpretation that may be valid | The technical basis of the adjustment |
| Return not filed | Estimated or incomplete figures | Whether the calculation is accurate |
| Penalty applied | Grounds for waiver or reconsideration | Whether relief routes are available |
The right route depends on what the assessment says and why it was issued. Some assessments should be paid. Some should be corrected through disclosure. Some should be challenged. Some penalties may need a waiver or instalment request. We map the options before action is taken.
| Option | What it does | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Accept and pay | Settles the assessed amount | The assessment is correct and no relief applies |
| Voluntary disclosure | Corrects a genuine error | The issue comes from a mistake that should be fixed |
| Reconsideration | Challenges an FTA decision | There is a technical or factual basis to dispute it |
| Penalty waiver | Seeks reduction or removal of penalties | There are valid grounds and evidence |
| Instalment request | Spreads payment over time | The amount is due but immediate payment is difficult |
An assessment starts a deadline. Reconsideration requests generally need to be submitted within the required business-day window from the FTA decision. Missing that window can leave you with fewer options, even if the assessment is wrong.
Our first task is to identify the decision date, the available routes and the response calendar, then work backwards so the submission is prepared properly rather than rushed.
Most assessments have a history. The FTA may have asked questions, reviewed a return or examined records before issuing the assessment. Understanding that history matters because the strongest response often depends on evidence that was not properly submitted during the audit stage.
ZeroSync connects the assessment to the audit file and builds a coherent response instead of treating the assessment in isolation.

It is the FTA’s formal determination of tax and possibly penalties due, which may differ from the amount on your return or records.
Not automatically. It should be reviewed first because it may contain errors, incomplete information or a position that can be supported.
Options may include paying, voluntary disclosure, reconsideration, penalty waiver or instalments. The best route depends on the facts.
Yes. Reconsideration deadlines are strict, so the decision date and response window should be checked immediately.
Audit support handles the review while it is happening. Assessment services begin when an assessment has been issued and a response is needed.
Yes. It can be sensible to challenge one part while accepting or correcting another, depending on the evidence and technical position.
