VAT Return Filing
Submitting a VAT Return form
VAT Return Filing in the UAE is the process of submitting a VAT return form to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) by businesses that are registered for VAT in the UAE. The VAT return form, called VAT 201, must be filed within 28 days of the end of each tax period. The tax period is either a month or a quarter, depending on the business's annual turnover.
The VAT return form requires businesses to report their total sales and purchases, as well as the VAT charged and paid on those transactions. Businesses are also required to report any import VAT and export VAT that they have incurred.
Once the VAT return form is submitted, the FTA will assess the business's VAT liability and issue a VAT payment notice. Businesses must pay the VAT liability within 30 days of the date of the payment notice.
There are a number of penalties that can be imposed on businesses that fail to file their VAT returns on time or that underreport their VAT liability. These penalties can be significant, so it is important for businesses to comply with the VAT filing requirements.

Why Outsource Value Added Tax Accounting to VAT Consultants?
