Our dedicated team ensures accurate and timely VAT return filing with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to meet the mandatory requirement, avoiding penalties and fines for your business in the UAE.
A VAT return is a formal report used by businesses to disclose their VAT transactions and liabilities to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) in the UAE. It’s a regular requirement that must be completed accurately and within specified timeframes. The return indicates the tax payable or refundable for a specific tax period, with taxpayers using the prescribed FTA format. Timely submission and payment are crucial to compliance. Seeking professional assistance can help ensure error-free and timely VAT return filing, aligning with UAE VAT Law.
VAT Return Deadline
The VAT return must be filed by the 28th of the month following the quarter’s end. As an example, a quarterly return for January to March must be submitted by April 28th. If the 28th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a national holiday, the deadline extends to the next business day.
Penalties for Late Submission of VAT Return
Not submitting the VAT return by the deadline results in a tax assessment and a penalty of AED 1,000 for the first offense. Repeat violations within 24 months incur an AED 2,000 penalty.
