VAT filing is the process of preparing and submitting periodic VAT returns to the Federal Tax Authority, reporting output tax collected on sales and input tax paid on purchases. The primary objective is to ensure businesses accurately calculate their net VAT liability or refund position and meet their filing obligations within the prescribed timelines while remaining fully compliant with applicable regulations.
In Dubai and across the UAE, VAT applies to businesses exceeding the mandatory registration threshold of AED 375,000 in taxable supplies, with voluntary registration available above AED 187,500. As per Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017, registered businesses must file VAT returns on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on their assigned tax period, and settle any VAT payable within 28 days from the end of the period to avoid penalties and ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.
