Overview

Claim VAT Refunds to Boost Cash Flow with Expert Assistance. If your business pays more value-added tax (input VAT) than it collects from customers (output VAT), you become eligible for a VAT refund in the UAE. However, the refund process involves detailed documentation, accurate submissions, and timely follow-up with the FTA. Any delays or rejections can negatively impact your cash flow and profitability. Al Aegis VAT refund services cover the entire process: We review your documents and assess your refund eligibility; ensure your VAT returns accurately reflect excess input tax; complete and submit Form VAT311 through the FTA e-Services portal on your behalf; compile financial records, tax invoices, and customs documents as evidence; follow up with the FTA to ensure timely approval; and handle any additional queries or requirements from the authority. Step-by-Step Process to Claim VAT Refunds: First, file your business VAT return for the period during which excess VAT was paid. Then complete and submit Form VAT311 through the FTA portal within six months of the tax period. Attach customs documents and original tax invoices as proof. After thorough review, the FTA typically approves refunds within 20 business days, and the approved amount is deposited into your registered bank account within five working days. Al Aegis ensures successful VAT refund claims with prompt processing. We help you recover legitimate taxes efficiently so you can reinvest them in growing your business.
