FTA-Registered & Regulated Tax Agent

File Your VAT Return in Dubai & UAE

VAT-registered businesses in the UAE must file VAT returns with the Federal Tax Authority within the required tax period. Most VAT returns are due within 28 days after the end of the tax period, whether your business files monthly or quarterly.

A late, incomplete, or wrongly calculated VAT return can lead to penalties, refund delays, and FTA compliance issues. Proper VAT return filing ensures your taxable sales, input VAT, output VAT, and final VAT payable or refundable amount are reported correctly.

We help businesses prepare, review, and file VAT returns through the FTA portal. Our VAT consultants check your sales, purchases, expenses, VAT calculations, and supporting records before submission, so your return is filed with clear figures and proper documentation.

We support small businesses, trading companies, service providers, free zone companies, and larger UAE entities with regular VAT filing and compliance support.

Who Needs VAT Return Filing in the UAE?

VAT return filing is the process of reporting your taxable sales, purchases, input VAT, output VAT, and final VAT payable or refundable amount to the Federal Tax Authority.

Every business registered for VAT in the UAE must file VAT returns for each tax period. This applies even if the business had no turnover, no VAT payable, or limited activity during the period. You need VAT return filing support if your business:

  • Is registered for VAT with the FTA
  • Files monthly or quarterly VAT returns
  • Has sales, purchases, imports, exports, or zero-rated supplies
  • Claims input VAT on business expenses
  • Needs help checking VAT calculations before submission
  • Has missed a deadline or found an error in a previous VAT return

What Our VAT Return Filing Service Includes

Our VAT return filing service covers the full process from record review to FTA submission. We do not only enter figures into the portal; we check whether the figures are supported by proper records.

Our service includes:

  • Review of sales invoices, purchase invoices, and expense records
  • Checking output VAT and input VAT calculations
  • VAT reconciliation with your accounting records
  • Review of zero-rated, exempt, and taxable supplies
  • VAT payable or refund calculation
  • Preparation of the VAT return for FTA submission
  • Filing through the FTA portal after your approval
  • VAT payment guidance, if tax is payable
  • Record keeping support for future VAT checks or audits
  • Support with FTA queries related to submitted VAT returns

Documents Required for VAT Return Filing

To prepare your VAT return correctly, we need to review the records related to the relevant VAT period. Usually required documents include:

  • Sales invoices
  • Purchase and expense invoices
  • Import and export records, if applicable
  • Credit notes and debit notes
  • Bank statements or payment records, if required
  • Previous VAT return details, if available
  • Accounting software reports or ledgers
  • TRN and FTA login access or authorization details

Common VAT Filing Mistakes We Help Prevent

Many VAT penalties and refund delays happen because of small errors in records, tax treatment, or reconciliation. A proper review before filing is often cheaper than correcting mistakes after submission.

Common VAT filing issues include:

  • Missing sales or purchase invoices
  • Incorrect VAT treatment on zero-rated or exempt supplies
  • Wrong input VAT claims
  • Incorrect tax codes in accounting software
  • Unreconciled VAT figures
  • Late VAT return submission
  • Missing supporting documents
  • Incorrect VAT payable or refund figures

VAT Return Correction, Refund and FTA Query Support

We can also help if your business has already submitted a VAT return and later finds an error. Depending on the amount and type of error, the correction may be handled in a future return or through a voluntary disclosure on the FTA portal. Our consultants review the issue and guide you on the correct next step. We also assist with:

  • VAT refund claim preparation and follow-up
  • VAT payment guidance
  • FTA clarification or query support
  • Review of past VAT returns
  • VAT compliance checks before audit or inspection

This support helps businesses fix VAT issues properly instead of making rushed corrections without checking the full impact.
