Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced in the United Arab Emirates in 2018 and is now compulsory for businesses with an annual turnover of AED 375,000 or higher. Hence, company owners and investors must comprehend the VAT registration process and the VAT filing method in the UAE.
Filing a VAT return involves providing details on VAT-related sales and expenses incurred during a specific tax period. This process aids businesses in calculating the VAT payable and initiating refund procedures where applicable.
VAT returns must be filed exclusively through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) website as offline methods, such as using XML, EXCEL, or other software, are presently unavailable. The FTA website is tailored to accept returns solely through online channels.
As per their VAT registration certificate or the official tax website dashboard, registered firms are required to regularly submit VAT returns to the FTA within 28 days following the end of the tax month. So, for example, in the case of quarterly VAT returns, for the quarter from May to July, the deadline is August 28th.
Czar Bizserv provides efficient, reliable, and hassle-free VAT return filing services in Dubai, available on both monthly and quarterly schedules. Failure to file VAT returns promptly or submitting incorrect information may result in VAT audits and fines imposed by the FTA.
Businesses must file VAT returns at least once every three months, although some may need to do so monthly depending on their circumstances. The duration of the tax period depends on the annual revenue of the business. For businesses with annual revenue below AED 150 million, the tax period is quarterly.
For businesses with annual revenue of AED 150 million or more, the tax period is monthly. The filing period will be specified on your VAT certificate. All registered businesses must ensure they complete VAT return filing within the timeframe set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
