FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — VAT Filing Dubai

How do I file VAT in Dubai?
VAT filing in Dubai is done through the FTA EmaraTax portal at emaratax.gov.ae. You must complete the VAT201 return form for your assigned tax period — quarterly for most Dubai businesses — entering your output tax (VAT charged on sales) and input tax (VAT paid on eligible expenses). The net VAT payable must be submitted and paid by the 28th of the month following the tax period. Essence Accounting manages the entire VAT filing process for Dubai businesses as your FTA-registered tax agent.
What is the VAT filing deadline for Dubai businesses?
For Dubai businesses filing quarterly, VAT returns are due on the 28th of the month following the quarter end: Q1 (Jan-Mar) due 28 April; Q2 (Apr-Jun) due 28 July; Q3 (Jul-Sep) due 28 October; Q4 (Oct-Dec) due 28 January. Monthly filers must submit by the 28th of the following month. Penalties for late submission start at AED 1,000, rising to AED 2,000 for repeat offenses within 24 months.
How much does VAT filing cost in Dubai?
VAT filing costs in Dubai vary depending on the complexity of your business, the number of transactions, and the filing frequency. Essence Accounting offers Dubai VAT filing packages starting from AED 500 per quarter for small businesses with straightforward transactions. Monthly filers and businesses with higher volumes receive custom quotes. All packages include invoice reconciliation, VAT201 preparation, EmaraTax submission, and FTA correspondence.
Do Dubai free zone companies need to file VAT returns?
Yes. Dubai free zone companies that are registered for VAT must file VAT returns for every assigned tax period. However, supplies between UAE Designated Zones may have special VAT treatment under FTA rules. Dubai has several Designated Zones — such as Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) — where certain goods movements between zones are outside the scope of VAT. If your Dubai free zone entity makes supplies to mainland customers, standard 5% VAT rules apply.
What happens if I miss a VAT filing deadline in Dubai?
Missing a VAT filing deadline in Dubai triggers immediate FTA penalties. The first late filing incurs AED 1,000, and a second offense within 24 months incurs AED 2,000. Any unpaid VAT attracts a 2% penalty immediately after the deadline, 4% after 7 days, then 1% daily — capped at 300% of the unpaid tax. Essence Accounting guarantees on-time filing, eliminating penalty risk entirely.
Can Essence Accounting handle VAT for my Dubai company remotely?
Yes. Essence Accounting provides fully remote VAT filing services for Dubai businesses. Our clients simply share their invoices and financial records via email, WhatsApp, or a shared cloud folder. We reconcile all transactions, prepare the VAT201 return, submit it through EmaraTax as your registered tax agent, and send you a confirmation. Our Business Bay office is also available for in-person consultations if preferred.
