YOUR VAT DEADLINE

File and pay within 28 days of your tax period ending.

Most UAE businesses file VAT quarterly. Businesses with annual turnover above AED 150 million, or those assigned by the FTA, file monthly. The return and the VAT payment are both due by the 28th day after the period ends — and if that day is a weekend or holiday, it moves to the next working day.

Questions

VAT return filing, answered

When is the UAE VAT return due?

Your VAT return and any VAT payable are due within 28 days after the end of each tax period. Most businesses file quarterly; businesses with annual turnover above AED 150 million generally file monthly.

Yes. Every VAT-registered business must file a return for every tax period, even a nil return. Filing a nil return late still triggers the late filing penalty.

The FTA applies AED 1,000 for a first late filing and AED 2,000 for a repeat within 24 months. Since 14 April 2026, unpaid VAT also attracts a late payment penalty of 14% per annum, calculated monthly.

Yes. We prepare and file overdue returns as quickly as possible to limit further penalties, and advise on whether a penalty waiver request is worth making.

Depending on the amount, the error is corrected in your next return or through a voluntary disclosure. We review the error, recommend the right route and prepare the submission.

Yes. If your input VAT exceeds your output VAT, we check the claim is fully supported and prepare the refund request through EmaraTax.

Your TRN, sales and purchase invoices for the period, bank statements and any import records. We confirm your first tax period and make sure nothing from before registration is missed.

Our VAT return filing starts from AED 599 per return, and nil returns from AED 299. Overdue returns are quoted after a short review. Pricing is confirmed in writing before we start.
