 What is the UAE VAT declaration?

 At the end of each taxable period, VAT Registration UAE businesses are required to file a VAT return with the federal tax authorities.

 A VAT return summarizes the earned value of supplies and purchases of a VAT registered business during the tax period and shows the VAT liability of the business.

 VAT liability is the difference between the production tax (VAT on the supply of goods and services) payable in a given tax period and the input tax (VAT on purchases) recoverable in the same tax period. If the output tax exceeds the input tax amount, the difference must be paid to the UAE Federal Tax Authority. If the input tax exceeds the input tax, the VAT registered business is subject to excess input tax. You have the right to set off this against subsequent payments to the federal tax authorities.
