Understanding VAT Return Filing in Dubai
What is Meant by VAT Return Filing?
VAT return filing means reporting your business’s VAT-related sales, purchases, and expenses to the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) every quarter (or every month for some businesses).
It is the official process where a business tells the FTA:
- How much VAT was collected on sales, and
- How much VAT was paid on business purchases.
After filing, the FTA calculates whether your business must:
- Pay VAT to the government, or
- Receive a VAT refund (if you paid more VAT than you collected).
In simple words:
VAT return filing shows the government the VAT you collected and the VAT you spent — so the final amount can be settled correctly.
It keeps your business compliant, avoids penalties, and ensures your VAT is accurate and up to date.
What is the Due Date for Filing VAT Returns in Dubai?
VAT returns in Dubai (and the entire UAE) must be filed on or before the 28th day following the end of your VAT tax period.
Most businesses in the UAE are assigned a quarterly VAT period, which means:
- You file every 3 months, and
- You must submit the VAT return within 28 days after the quarter ends.
Some larger businesses may have monthly VAT returns, but the due date is still the same:
28 days after the end of each tax period.
In simple terms:
You get 28 days after your VAT period ends to file the VAT return and pay any VAT due.
Missing this deadline can lead to penalties, so staying on time is essential.
Who Needs to Submit VAT Returns in the UAE?
Any business that is registered for VAT in the UAE must submit VAT returns to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
This includes:
- Businesses that are required to register (mandatory registration).
- Businesses that chose to register voluntarily.
- Businesses with zero activity or no sales during the tax period.
- Businesses that collected no VAT for the period.
- Businesses that only made exempt or zero-rated supplies.
In simple words:
If your business has a VAT registration number (TRN), you must file VAT returns — even if you had no sales, no purchases, or no VAT to pay.
