Overview

What ongoing VAT return filing covers

Once VAT-registered, returns are due every quarter (or monthly, for some businesses) within 28 days of the period ending. Each return reconciles output tax on sales against recoverable input tax on purchases — errors here are the most common source of FTA queries.

We prepare your return from your actual sales and purchase records each period and file it on a managed calendar, so the deadline is never something you have to track yourself.

Benefits

Why put filing on a managed calendar

Never a missed deadline

Every filing period is tracked so the 28-day window is never at risk.

Accurate reconciliation

Input and output tax are checked against your actual records each period, not estimated.

Penalty avoidance

Late filing penalties are avoided entirely through proactive scheduling.

Audit-ready every quarter

Records are kept to a standard that holds up if the FTA ever reviews a specific period.

Who this is for

VAT-registered businesses that want their quarterly (or monthly) filing handled on an ongoing, managed basis.

Requirements & Process

Documents & eligibility
