What you should keep in mind when completing the VAT returns?

While completing VAT returns, amount must be in the UAE currency (AED) and must be rounded off to the nearest fills. Mandatory fields shouldn’t be left incomplete and “0” is supposed to be used if amount is to be declared. Every registrant is required to provide genuine details while VAT returns Filing. A sample list of the details to be summarized under Taxable Supplies is listed below:

  1. Commercial Property Sold
  2. Supply of Goods And Services (Net Of Discount)
  3. Non-Refundable Deposits Received other than those which are Refundable (E.G- Security Deposit)
  4. Sale of Goods under Profit Margin Scheme
  5. Supply of Goods within Designated Zone that are Consumed within Designated Zone
  6. Credit Notes Issued (To be deducted from Total Supplies)
  7. Errors Noted for the Previous Tax Periods can be Deducted Given the Error Does Not Result in the Output Tax Being Decreased / Increased by an Amount More Than AED 10,000/-

When should you Account for VAT returns Filing as Per FTA?

A taxable person should do the VAT returns Filing by not later than 28th of every month complying by the Tax period regulations or a specific date requested by the Federal Tax Authority. For instance, if the first VAT returns period of a taxpayer is January 2018 to March 2018, his VAT returns Filing due date should be April 28, 2018. In case of any due payment, it should also be paid by the same deadline. If the due date falls on a weekend or a gazette/national holiday, the deadline gets extended to the first business day afterwards. Post VAT returns Filing; penalty of AED 1,000 is levied for the first time delay occurred. The penalty gets higher for non-complying of VAT returns Filing subsequently.
