FAQs

Below are answers to some of the most common questions businesses ask about VAT compliance, requirements, and procedures in the UAE.

How often do VAT returns need to be filed in the UAE?

VAT returns are filed based on the tax period assigned by the Federal Tax Authority at the time of VAT registration. Most businesses are required to file VAT returns quarterly, while some may be assigned monthly tax periods. The assigned tax period is visible on the FTA portal and must be followed consistently.
What is the deadline for filing VAT returns in Dubai?

VAT returns and any VAT payable must generally be submitted within 28 days from the end of the relevant tax period, unless the Federal Tax Authority specifies a different deadline. If the deadline falls on a public holiday or weekend, the due date is typically extended to the next working day.
Is it mandatory to file a VAT return if there is no VAT activity?
What information is required to prepare a VAT return?

To prepare a VAT return, businesses must provide accurate records of taxable sales, zero-rated supplies, exempt supplies, imports, expenses, and eligible input VAT. Valid tax invoices, credit notes, and accounting records are essential to support the figures reported in the VAT return.
Can VAT returns be amended after submission?

Yes. If a business discovers an error after submitting a VAT return, it may be required to submit a voluntary disclosure through the FTA portal, depending on the nature and value of the error. Timely correction helps reduce compliance risks and demonstrates good faith to the tax authority.
