At SAS Partners — Ahmed Mahfoudh Chartered Accountants & Auditors, we prepare and submit accurate, on-time VAT returns for businesses across Dubai and the UAE, closing every filing period with a fully reconciled position and zero surprises at submission. From single-entity filers to multi-branch groups, we make sure every return matches your books before it ever reaches the FTA portal.
Book Free ConsultationEvery tax period, your VAT return has to reconcile output tax on sales against input tax on purchases and expenses, down to the last invoice. A single miscoded transaction, a missed reverse-charge entry, or an overlooked credit note can throw off the whole return and trigger an FTA query long after the deadline has passed.
We treat each filing period as a closed loop: reconcile the books, classify every transaction correctly, prepare the return, and submit it through the FTA portal within the deadline. Because we file period after period for the same clients, we catch recurring errors early and keep your VAT position clean before it ever becomes a problem.

Most registrants file quarterly, though the FTA assigns some businesses a monthly filing period based on their turnover, and your specific frequency is confirmed on your VAT registration certificate.
VAT returns and any payment due must generally be submitted within 28 days of the end of the tax period, and missing this window triggers an automatic late filing penalty regardless of the amount owed.
Depending on the size of the error, you may need to submit a voluntary disclosure (Form VAT211) to correct the previous return. Filing this proactively before the FTA identifies the error typically results in a more favorable outcome.
