VAT Value Added Tax - Presentation on Key Concepts and Knowledge

Vat return filing is an integral component of VAT system as it is used for the purpose of reporting the VAT collected and paid by the entity to the tax authority during the course of a specified time period. The VAT registered entities can use the online portal made available on the website of Federal Tax Authority (FTA) for filing VAT returns in the UAE. The form used for the purpose of filing a VAT return is known as Form VAT201.

When should a VAT return be filed by a taxable entity in the UAE?
Any taxable person in the UAE must file the VAT return periodically. The VAT return must be submitted not later than the 28th date of the month following the tax period specified by the tax authority.

What information is to be provided by the taxable entity in the VAT return?
The tax return in the UAE provides information regarding the amount of tax due or refundable for a specific tax period. The taxable person is required to provide information about the output tax payable along with the input cover available against the output tax. If an entity’s output tax exceeds its input tax then in that case the entity is liable to pay the exceeding amount as tax to the authority. On the flip side, if the entity’s input tax exceeds its output tax then the exceeding amount in this case is to be refunded to the entity by the authority.

The Form VAT201 contains the following content in relation to Output and Input tax:
Output tax:
• Tax liability on standard rated supplies (5%) and that to emirate wise.
• Tax liability on goods purchased from outside the UAE (imports) through customs.
• Tax liability on services rendered from outside the UAE.
• Tax on products purchased outside the UAE on which no tax liability is created whatsoever.
• Tax refunds made available persons touring the country.

Input tax:
• Tax levied on standard rated expenses.
• Tax levied on standard rated purchase of goods.
• Tax levied on goods purchased outside the UAE.
• Tax levied on services rendered outside the UAE.
