Our experts ensure error-free VAT filings while maintaining complete documentation to support each submission.
What is VAT Return Filing?
VAT return filing is the process of submitting your business’s tax report to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) within the due date. This report includes details of:
- Output VAT (tax you’ve collected on sales)
- Input VAT (tax you’ve paid on purchases that can be recovered)
- Other necessary information as per FTA requirements
Filing VAT returns on time is not just a compliance step; it protects your business from penalties, enhances credibility, and ensures you maximize your eligible VAT recovery.
The official VAT return form, VAT 201, is available through the FTA portal. Businesses can log in using their registered username and password to file returns.
