VAT Filing in UAE
Under the UAE VAT Law, every company registered for VAT is legally obligated to file a VAT return for each tax period, irrespective of whether any taxable transactions have taken place during that period. The VAT return must include a detailed summary of total sales, purchases, output VAT charged, and input VAT incurred within the reporting period. VAT returns must be filed quarterly; however, some businesses may be required to submit monthly returns, depending on their turnover or the filing frequency determined by the FTA
At Tax Consultants Dubai, we ensure that the VAT filing process is fully compliant, efficient, and straightforward. Our qualified professionals review every figure submitted to guarantee accuracy and adherence to FTA regulations, helping businesses avoid unnecessary fines or penalties.

Why Accurate VAT Filing Matters
Inaccurate VAT filing can result in administrative penalties and unnecessary audits.
The FTA imposes a late submission fine and an incorrect declaration fine:
- AED 1,000 for the first-time late submission.
- AED 2,000 for each subsequent offense in 24 months.
- 5% to 50% penalties for under declaration of tax payments.
By filing on time and correctly, you maintain a clean compliance record, avoid penalties, and earn the goodwill of your company with the government.
