What your VAT filing covers
The full VAT cycle, from registration to a filed return on EmaraTax.
VAT 201 preparation
We prepare your VAT 201 return directly from your books, applying standard 5%, zero-rated, and exempt treatments correctly.
Output & input reconciliation
We reconcile output VAT on sales against input VAT on purchases so your recoverable VAT is complete and your figures tie out.
Filing on EmaraTax
We file your VAT 201 through the FTA EmaraTax portal by the deadline and confirm submission, so nothing is missed.
Correct VAT treatment
We apply the right treatment to each supply — 5% standard, 0% zero-rated, or exempt — and keep the evidence behind it.
Deadline management
Filing and payment are due by the 28th day after each tax period. We track your period and keep you ahead of it.

From your bookkeeping, we build the VAT 201 return — output VAT, input VAT, and adjustments — with correct treatments.
03
Reconcile & review
We reconcile output against input VAT, resolve queries, and review the return with you before anything is submitted.
04
File on EmaraTax
We file through the FTA EmaraTax portal ahead of the 28th-day deadline and confirm the submission back to you.

VAT filing questions, answered
The essentials on UAE VAT returns and how we file them.
What is the VAT 201 return?
The VAT 201 is the periodic VAT return that registered businesses file with the UAE Federal Tax Authority through the EmaraTax portal. It reports your output VAT on sales, your recoverable input VAT on purchases, and the net VAT payable or refundable for the tax period. We prepare and file it for you directly from your books.
When is the VAT return due in the UAE?
VAT filing and payment are due by the 28th day of the month following the end of your tax period. The tax period is quarterly for annual turnover below AED 150 million and monthly for turnover of AED 150 million or more (the FTA may assign a different period). If the 28th falls on a weekend or public holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. We track your period and file ahead of the deadline.
What is the VAT registration threshold?
Registration is mandatory once your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the past 12 months or are expected to in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500. If you are not yet registered but need to be, we handle it as part of the service.
How do zero-rated and exempt supplies differ?
They are treated very differently. Zero-rated supplies are taxable at 0% and you can generally still recover the input VAT related to them — examples include exports outside the GCC, international transport, and recognised healthcare and education. Exempt supplies carry no VAT at all and input VAT attributable to them is generally not recoverable — examples include margin-based financial services, residential property after its first supply, bare land, and local passenger transport. Applying the correct treatment to each supply is central to an accurate VAT 201.
What is EmaraTax?
EmaraTax is the FTA online portal where UAE businesses register for tax, submit returns, and make payments. VAT 201 returns are prepared and filed through EmaraTax. We manage the filing on the portal so your submission is complete and on time.
Can you help if my VAT records are messy?
Yes. Accurate VAT starts with accurate books. If your records are behind or your VAT treatments are inconsistent, we can clean up and reconcile your bookkeeping first, then prepare a defensible VAT 201 on that basis.
