VAT Return Filing

VAT Return

..____..

A VAT return is like a form that people who pay taxes need to fill out regularly. It’s an official paper that you send to the Federal Tax Authority. This form has information about the VAT (Value Added Tax) you owe and can get back. The guide calls this paper a “VAT Return.” You have to submit this form online using the FTA website. The person who pays taxes can do it, or someone they trust, like a tax agent or legal representative, can do it for them.

Taxation period

The taxable period is a specific time when you figure out and pay your taxes. Normally, it’s three months, ending on a date set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). However, the FTA can decide different periods for certain groups (like companies in Dubai might have to do it every month).

If you’re following the standard three-month period but want it to end in a different month, you can ask the FTA, and they might agree.

Make sure to check the date for submitting your VAT return in the United Arab Emirates. You should send it to the FTA within 28 days after the taxable period ends, or by another date the FTA tells you. If you have to pay, the FTA should get the payment by the same deadline. It’s important to understand your tax duties.

Calculation of tax obligations

The tax obligation for someone registered for VAT is the gap between the temporary sales tax paid in a specific tax period and the temporary sales tax that can be reclaimed during the same period. If the sales tax paid is more than the sales tax that can be collected, you have to pay the extra amount to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). On the other hand, if the VAT amount you can reclaim is more than what you paid, you can ask the FTA for a VAT refund.

Submission of VAT return

..____..

For each taxable period, a person who pays taxes needs to submit a VAT return. This report should include details about the goods and services they either sold or bought. Specifically, taxable persons must report:

Sales and other outputs.
If you’re a retailer offering tax refunds to UAE tourists through the official tourist refund system, report those tax refunds given to tourists.
Goods and services that have a zero VAT rate.
Any adjustments needed for goods imported into the UAE and declared through UAE Customs.
Goods and services received by the taxpayer under reverse billing provisions.
Goods and services subject to the standard VAT rate for each emirate.
Supplies that are exempt from VAT.
Goods and services subject to zero VAT rate.

When it comes to purchases and other expenses, those paying taxes must report:

Purchases and costs subject to the standard VAT rate for which you want to charge and collect VAT.
Costs where you want to collect temporary consumption tax.
Supplies subject to reverse billing.
The amount of VAT that the person paying taxes can claim and collect as temporary sales tax.

This must be balanced in the final tax return. The resulting amount is the net VAT paid to or refunded by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), known as the net VAT position.
