WHEN IS YOUR RETURN DUE?
VAT returns are due by the 28th after your period ends.
Most businesses file quarterly; those with turnover above AED 150 million generally file monthly. The FTA staggers quarters, so check the tax period on your VAT certificate. The return and the payment are both due on the same day.

Questions
VAT return filing FAQs
Can Fintra Global file my VAT return?
Yes. We prepare your return from your records, have a specialist review it, and file it on EmaraTax before the deadline, then send you the payment amount and confirmation.
When is my UAE VAT return due?
Your return and any VAT payable are due by the 28th day after your tax period ends. Most businesses file quarterly, and the FTA staggers quarters, so your quarter may not follow the calendar.
Do I need to file if I had no sales?
Yes. Every VAT-registered business must file a return for every tax period, including nil returns. A late nil return still attracts the late filing penalty.
What happens if I file my VAT return late?
The FTA applies administrative penalties for late filing and late payment. Penalty amounts change from time to time, so we confirm the current position for your case and file as quickly as possible to limit them.
Can you fix a mistake in a VAT return I already filed?
Yes. Depending on the amount, the error is corrected in your next return or through a voluntary disclosure. We recommend the right route and prepare the submission.
Do you handle VAT returns in Dubai and other emirates?
Yes. We file VAT returns for mainland and free zone businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other emirates, in person at our Bur Dubai office or remotely.
How much does VAT return filing cost?
The fee depends on your transaction volume and how ready your records are. We quote one fixed fee in writing after a free review, before any work starts.
