What is VAT Return Filing in UAE?
A VAT return is a formal document submitted to the FTA that summarizes your company’s taxable sales, purchases, output VAT (VAT collected), and input VAT (VAT paid). Based on this filing, you will either pay VAT to the FTA or claim a refund.
Businesses with:
Annual turnover below AED 150 million → must file VAT returns quarterly.
Annual turnover of AED 150 million or above → must file VAT returns monthly.
The deadline for VAT return filing in the UAE is the 28th day of the month following the end of the tax period. Late or incorrect submissions can result in significant fines and penalties.
