VAT Return Filing

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 your output tax (VAT charged to customers) and input tax (VAT paid to suppliers), and calculates your net VAT payable or refundable.
