Cancellation and Refund Policy

At United VAT, we aim to provide professional, transparent, and reliable services to our clients. This Cancellation and Refund Policy explains how cancellation and refund requests are reviewed for services purchased or confirmed through our website, email, phone, WhatsApp, quotation, invoice, or other approved communication channels.

By confirming a service or making a payment, clients acknowledge this Policy.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to professional service fees paid to United VAT for VAT, tax, excise, accounting, bookkeeping, compliance, advisory, registration, filing, amendment, de-registration, and related support services.

This Policy does not apply to external charges unless those amounts are refundable by the relevant party. These may include:

  • Government fees;
  • Authority charges;
  • Tax penalties;
  • Bank charges;
  • Payment gateway charges;
  • Third-party professional fees;
  • Courier, documentation, attestation, translation, or administrative expenses.

2. Cancellation Requests

Clients may request cancellation within 48 hours of confirming a service or placing an order, provided that work has not already started.

Cancellation requests may be submitted to:

Email:vishal@unitedvat.com
Phone:+971-52-7788300

To review the request, United VAT may require the client's name, company name, invoice number, payment proof, service details, and reason for cancellation.

3. Review of Cancellation Requests

A cancellation request will be reviewed based on the service status at the time the request is received.

Cancellation may be limited where:

  • Work has already started;
  • Documents have been reviewed;
  • Consultation or advisory has been provided;
  • Application, registration, amendment, de-registration, or filing preparation has begun;
  • Reports, calculations, drafts, working files, or service outputs have been shared;
  • Submission has been made to a government authority or third-party portal;
  • The service has already been completed;
  • External costs have already been incurred.

4. Refund Eligibility

Refunds may be considered in the following cases:

  • Duplicate payment;
  • Billing error;
  • Service not initiated by United VAT;
  • Service not delivered due to reasons within United VAT's reasonable control;
  • Any other case approved after internal review.

Each refund request will be assessed based on the nature of the service, work completed, documents processed, time spent, costs incurred, and the reason for the request.

5. Non-Refundable Items

The following amounts are generally non-refundable:

  • Government fees;
  • Authority charges;
  • Tax penalties;
  • Bank or payment gateway charges;
  • Third-party costs;
  • Administrative or documentation expenses already incurred;
  • Professional fees for work already completed or partially completed;
  • Fees for consultation, advisory, reports, filings, applications, or service outputs already delivered.

6. Client-Related Delays or Changes

Refunds may be limited where the service is affected by:

  • Delay in providing documents, approvals, information, or access;
  • Incomplete, incorrect, outdated, or misleading information;
  • Change in client requirement after work has started;
  • Prior non-compliance or incomplete records;
  • Government authority decisions, portal delays, clarification requests, penalties, or rejections.

7. Service Credit Option

Where a refund is not applicable, United VAT may, at its discretion, offer a partial or full service credit that can be adjusted against another eligible United VAT service.

This option will be subject to management approval and will not apply to government fees, authority charges, third-party costs, or expenses already incurred.

8. Refund Processing

If a refund is approved, United VAT will notify the client through email or another agreed communication channel.

Approved refunds may take a minimum of 15 business days to process, depending on the payment method, bank, card provider, or payment gateway.

Refunds are normally issued to the original payment method or bank account used for the transaction, unless otherwise approved by United VAT.

9. Refund Deductions

Where applicable, the approved refund amount may be adjusted after deducting:

  • Work already completed;
  • Consultation or advisory time provided;
  • Administrative charges;
  • Bank or payment gateway charges;
  • Government or authority fees;
  • Third-party costs;
  • Documentation, courier, or other direct expenses.

The final refundable amount will be confirmed after review.

10. Government and Authority Matters

For services involving VAT, excise, tax, accounting, regulatory, or government authority matters, United VAT may assist with preparation, submission, advisory, and follow-up according to the agreed scope.

Final approvals, rejections, penalties, clarification requests, refund approvals, audits, and timelines remain under the control of the relevant authority or third party.

11. Delays Beyond Reasonable Control

United VAT shall not be responsible for delays or service interruptions caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including government portal downtime, regulatory changes, internet failure, payment gateway disruption, technical failure, natural events, or similar situations.
