Overview

VAT Return Filing in UAE โ€” Accurate, Timely, and Hassle-Free. Every VAT-registered business in the UAE is required to file VAT returns โ€” either monthly or quarterly โ€” based on the notification from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). During each return period, you must report VAT collected from customers (output tax), calculate your overall VAT liability, and claim credits on VAT paid to suppliers (input tax). Preparing and filing VAT returns involves gathering financial data from multiple sources, classifying transactions correctly, calculating tax liabilities, and submitting the VAT 201 form online through the FTA e-Services portal. Your submission must be accurate and within the designated 28-day timeframe โ€” failure to comply results in fines starting at AED 1,000 for the first offense and AED 2,000 for repeat offenses, plus a daily penalty of AED 500 for late filing. Why Choose Al Aegis for VAT Return Filing: Our VAT experts meticulously review all your financial records and transactions to ensure the accuracy of VAT calculations, preventing overpayment or underpayment. We create error-free submissions using the latest FTA formats and guidelines. If you receive any queries or notices from the FTA, we respond on your behalf. Our consultants keep you informed of regulatory changes and offer tailored filing services to minimize your VAT burden while ensuring full compliance. Our Process: We collect and review your financial data (invoices, receipts, bank statements, purchase orders), classify transactions by VAT treatment (standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt, out-of-scope), calculate your net VAT liability, prepare the VAT 201 return form, submit it through the FTA portal before the deadline, and provide you with a confirmation and summary report.
