VAT Return Filing Services

Every filing period, reconciled and submitted before the FTA deadline.

Registering for VAT is only the beginning — every business then has to file accurate returns on a recurring schedule, for as long as it stays registered. Corcess takes over the recurring workload: reconciling input and output tax, preparing the VAT 201 return, and filing it through EmaraTax, so nothing is missed as your transaction volume grows.

What Recurring VAT Filing Involves

Each return requires reconciling sales and purchase invoices, verifying input tax recoverability, adjusting for bad debts or credit notes, and submitting a fully supported VAT 201 return within the deadline for your tax period.

What Corcess Handles Each Period

  • Reconciliation of output tax against your sales ledger
  • Review of input tax claims for recoverability and documentation
  • Preparation and submission of the VAT 201 return via EmaraTax
  • Tracking of payment deadlines and FTA payment confirmation

Where Businesses Most Often Go Wrong

  • Claiming input tax on non-recoverable expenses such as entertainment
  • Missing the reverse-charge mechanism on imported services
  • Filing nil returns when zero-rated or exempt supplies should still be reported
  • Late adjustments for credit notes issued after the original tax period

VAT Health Checks & Audit Readiness

Alongside routine filing, we run periodic health checks on your VAT position so that if an FTA audit does arrive, your filing history, records and reconciliations are already in order.

Relevant Laws & Regulations

  • Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017 & Cabinet Decision No. 52 of 2017
    Set the VAT return filing obligation, standard tax periods, and the 28-day deadline after each period ends.
  • Federal Decree-Law No. 28 of 2022 (Tax Procedures Law)
    Governs the late-filing and late-payment penalty framework, voluntary disclosures, and the process for correcting errors in a previously filed return.
  • Cabinet Decision No. 49 of 2021 on Administrative Penalties
    Sets current penalty amounts for late VAT return filing and late payment, on a scale that increases for repeat violations within 24 months.

Summarized for general understanding, not legal advice. Laws and thresholds are updated periodically by the UAE Ministry of Finance and Federal Tax Authority — always confirm your specific position with a registered tax agent.
