So, you’re being audited. Don’t worry – it's usually routine. It will require a lot of work though, especially if you’re having to translate everything first. Audits usually require:
Collecting, preparing and submitting documents
Assessing what’s already been reported
Working out what’s needed to resolve the audit
Amending previously filed returns

A VAT audit is when a tax authority reviews your VAT returns. They compare your returns to invoices and other supporting documents to make sure you’re paying the right amount of VAT.
You’ll need to gather:
VAT returns and filings
Sales and purchase invoices
Proof of VAT payments and refunds
Import/export documentation (if applicable)
No, not really. A portion of all VAT audits are done at random, so there’s always a chance you’ll be audited. The best thing to do is be prepared by keeping your documents in order.
It depends. Some can be concluded in a few days; others can take months.
Why am I being audited?
There are lots of reasons tax authorities will want to audit your accounts:
To check that VAT is being paid correctly (that you’re not underpaying or overpaying)
To confirm that a VAT refund is valid (this is most common in Germany)
To double-check returns from companies filing infrequently or operating in high-risk industries
To find cases of VAT fraud or tax evasion
To investigate inconsistent or late filings
The majority are routine checks, rather than because you’ve done something wrong.
