What's Included

Everything You Need, Handled

Return Preparation

We compile your VAT 201 from sales, purchases and imports, classifying standard, zero-rated, exempt and out-of-scope supplies correctly.

Input Tax Recovery

We claim every recoverable dirham of input VAT while blocking non-recoverable items like entertainment and certain motor costs.

Reconciliation

We reconcile your return to your accounting records and bank so output and input figures tie out before filing.

Reverse Charge

We apply the reverse charge mechanism to imports and cross-border services so your return reflects them properly.

On-Time E-Filing

We file on EmaraTax within the 28-day window and confirm the payable or refundable position.

Error Correction

We fix prior-period mistakes through adjustments or voluntary disclosure before they become assessments.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How often must I file VAT returns in the UAE?+
Most businesses file quarterly, while larger taxpayers may file monthly. The return and any payment are due within 28 days of the end of each tax period set by the FTA.
What is the penalty for late VAT filing?+
A late return triggers AED 1,000 for the first offence and AED 2,000 for a repeat within 24 months, plus separate penalties for late payment. We file on time to avoid both.
Can I recover VAT on all my expenses?+
Most business input VAT is recoverable, but items such as entertainment and certain vehicle costs are blocked. We apply the rules so you claim everything allowed and nothing that is not.
What if I made an error in a past return?+
Errors above AED 10,000 generally require a voluntary disclosure; smaller ones can be adjusted in the next return. We correct them properly to limit penalties.
