How to file your VAT returns in Dubai

Filing your VAT return, step by step

1. 1

   Know when your period ends

   A VAT return is filed at the end of each tax period. Taxable businesses must file with the FTA on a regular basis, usually within 28 days of the end of the tax period as defined for each type of business. Confirm the exact period that applies to you before anything else.

   Settle or recover the difference

   Where the output tax exceeds the input tax amount, the difference must be paid to the FTA. Where the input tax exceeds the output tax, you will have the excess input tax recovered and will be entitled to set this off against a subsequent payment due to the FTA.

   File on time to avoid penalties

   Failure to file a tax return within the specified time frame makes the violator liable for fines as per the provisions of Cabinet Resolution No. 40 of 2017 on Administrative Penalties for Violations of Tax Laws in the UAE. The current amounts should be checked on the authority's website.
