What is VAT Return Filing in the UAE?

Every VAT-registered business in the United Arab Emirates must file a VAT return with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) on a regular basis—typically quarterly or monthly.

The VAT return reports:

• Output tax (VAT charged to customers)
• Input tax (VAT paid to suppliers)

It also calculates your net VAT payable or refundable.

Failure to file on time or filing incorrectly may result in heavy penalties and can trigger an FTA audit. Our FTA-approved tax agents ensure your VAT returns are accurate and submitted before every deadline—every time.
