What UAE Businesses Must Know Before Their Next VAT Filing
The UAE VAT law under Federal Decree Law No. 8 of 2017 introduced a 5% standard VAT rate on 1 January 2018. The Federal Tax Authority requires businesses to file within the 28 day filing deadline after tax period. Missing this triggers AED 1,000 first late return penalty or AED 2,000 repeat penalty within 24 months.
Businesses above AED 150 million annual revenue move to monthly filing. The 2% late payment penalty rising to 4% after one month applies on unpaid VAT compliance amounts. Knowing your taxable supplies, zero rated supplies, and exempt supplies status determines your actual VAT filing deadline UAE obligation.
