Tax accountant reviewing a VAT return and invoices for a UAE company

VAT looks simple until the first return: invoices that miss requirements, non-recoverable input, or transactions treated at the wrong rate. Errors here cost more than the tax — the penalties come with them.

We take on the full VAT cycle: registration, getting invoices and records in order, preparing and reviewing the periodic return before submission, and following refund claims through.

Before every return we run a detailed review that surfaces differences and corrects them, so nothing reaches the authority that later needs amending.

What the service includes

Registration and deregistration

Assessing whether registration is required and completing it, or deregistering when the threshold no longer applies.

Periodic returns

Preparing and filing returns on time with supporting schedules.

Input tax review

Testing recoverability of input tax and correcting wrong treatments.

Invoice compliance

Ensuring tax invoices meet both formal and substantive requirements.

Refunds

Preparing refund claims and following them through to completion.

Who is this service for?

  • Newly registered companies
  • Companies with cross-border transactions
  • Companies that have received tax findings
  • Businesses with multiple activities

Frequently asked questions

When does registration become mandatory?

It depends on the value of taxable supplies over a defined period. We assess your position and confirm whether registration is mandatory or voluntary.

What if we are late on a previous return?

We review the position and help settle arrears and deal with the consequences as quickly as possible.

Will you review returns we prepared ourselves?

Yes, we provide an independent review before submission so errors surface early.

What does VAT registration cost in the UAE?

Registration itself carries no government fee, and late registration carries a AED 10,000 penalty. Our fee depends on how many returns you file a year, your invoice volume, and whether earlier periods need review. The figure is fixed after a free initial review.
