UAE VAT — what we cover

UAE VAT has been in place since 2018 — but the regime continues to evolve. New industry-specific guidance, refined input recovery rules, electronic compliance, and ongoing FTA audit activity mean VAT compliance is far from routine.

We handle the full UAE VAT lifecycle — from initial registration through quarterly returns, refund claims and audit defence.

Our VAT services

  • VAT registration — mandatory and voluntary registration, group registration analysis
  • Periodic VAT returns — monthly or quarterly preparation and filing with full working papers
  • Input tax recovery analysis — partial exemption calculations, capital asset scheme tracking
  • Voluntary disclosures — correcting prior period errors before they're discovered
  • VAT refund processing — tourist refunds, foreign business refunds, export refunds
  • VAT FTA audits support — full representation through FTA audits, queries and disputes
  • VAT health checks — pre-audit reviews to identify and fix issues proactively

Industry expertise

We have deep VAT expertise in sectors where the rules are complex: financial services (exempt and zero-rated supplies), real estate (commercial vs residential), import/export (zero-rating, designated zones), education, healthcare, and digital services.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

How does VAT refund processing work in the UAE?+
If you paid more VAT than you collected, you claim the extra amount in your VAT return. The FTA checks your records and may ask for invoices or contracts before paying. We prepare the claim and handle any questions from the FTA.
What happens in a VAT FTA audit, and how do we prepare?+
The FTA sends a notice asking for documents like returns, invoices and accounting records. They check that your returns match your books. Keep invoices for at least five years, and call us before replying to any notice.
What is a VAT health check, and do I need one?+
It’s a review of your past VAT returns and records to find mistakes before the FTA does. You get a short report on what’s wrong and how to fix it. It’s worth doing if your business has grown, or before a big refund claim.
Can you handle VAT return filing for my company?+
Yes. We prepare and file your VAT returns every month or quarter, before the deadline. We just need your invoices, bank statements and accounting records for the period.
I found a mistake in a VAT return I already filed. What should I do?+
Correct it as soon as you can. Small errors can often be fixed in your next return, but bigger ones need a voluntary disclosure to the FTA. We work out the right figures and file it for you.
