Why VAT Return Filing Is Mandatory for Every Company

Filing VAT returns on time is mandatory for all companies that are registered for VAT under UAE VAT law. VAT registered businesses are required to file VAT returns with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) for every tax period, even if no turnover is recorded for that period. Late VAT return filing or incorrect VAT return filing may attract administrative penalties, fines and non-compliance with the Federal Tax Authority. It can also impact business operations, business accounts and business reputation.

Non-compliance may result in:

  • Late VAT return filing penalties
  • Penalties for filing an incorrect VAT return
  • Delays or reduced VAT refunds
  • Trade license or government-related delays
  • Poorer compliance record with the Federal Tax Authority

Submitting VAT returns accurately and on time means your business will be compliant with UAE VAT laws, avoid fines from the Federal Tax Authority, have a reliable financial record, and allow seamless business operations in the country.

Step-by-Step VAT Return Filing Process

Our team has a systematic process for filing VAT return in UAE to ensure timely submission, compliance, and accuracy through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) portal.

Data Collection & Review

We gather your purchase invoices, sales invoices, and expense invoices for the applicable tax period and review them for proper application of VAT as per the UAE VAT law. Thorough document review ensures accuracy of VAT return filing and avoids penalties.

VAT Reconciliation

Our accountants reconcile input VAT and output VAT to ensure that all transactions are consistent with your accounting books and financial statements. This is essential to ensure you have included all invoices, applied VAT correctly, and reconciled the invoices properly before filing your VAT return.

VAT Calculation

We compute the amount of net VAT payable or the amount of VAT refund under UAE VAT rules. This includes consideration of taxable supplies, zero-rated supplies, exempt supplies, input VAT recovery and adjustments if needed.

FTA Portal Submission

Once the review and VAT calculation is done, our team prepares and submit the VAT to the Federal Tax Authority e-Services portal. We submit the VAT return only with your approval.

Confirmation & Record Keeping

Following successful filing of the VAT return, we confirm and keep records for audit, compliance and future reference. Record keeping is essential for Federal Tax Authority audits and VAT compliance checks.

We can also help with payment of VAT and VAT refunds, as well as facilitate communication with the Federal Tax Authority in relation to the VAT return.
