Missing the VAT return filing deadline can lead to penalties, legal consequences, and potential business disruptions. Understanding the due dates, process, and penalties associated with VAT return filing ensures your business remains fully compliant with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations. What Is a VAT Return Filing Deadline? A VAT return filing deadline refers to the specific date by which a registered business must submit its VAT return to the FTA. The VAT return summarizes the total output tax collected on sales and the input tax paid on purchases during a tax period. The difference between the two determines whether the business owes tax or is eligible for a refund. UAE VAT Return Filing Frequency In the UAE, VAT returns are typically filed on a quarterly or monthly basis, depending on the business’s turnover and FTA requirements. Quarterly Filing: Most businesses follow this schedule, filing their VAT returns every three months. Monthly Filing: Larger businesses with high turnover may be required to file VAT returns every month. The FTA specifies each business’s tax period at the time of VAT registration. VAT Return Filing Deadlines in the UAE The VAT return must be filed within 28 days from the end of the tax period. For example: If your tax period ends on March 31, the deadline for filing and payment is April 28. Failing to meet this date can result in financial penalties and affect your compliance record. Penalties for Missing VAT Return Filing Deadline The FTA imposes strict penalties for late VAT return filing or payment: AED 1,000 for the first offense. AED 2,000 for each subsequent offense within 24 months. In addition, there are daily and percentage-based penalties for late VAT payments.
