Overview
About VAT Voluntary Disclosure & How can we help

If a Taxable Person becomes aware that a previously submitted VAT Return contains errors resulting in a net VAT impact of AED 10,000 or more, a Voluntary Disclosure must be filed within 20 business days from the date the error is identified. These corrections may arise from internal VAT health checks, transaction reviews, reconciliations, or instructions issued by the FTA during the assessment of VAT refund applications.

A Voluntary Disclosure helps businesses correct inaccuracies before penalties escalate and ensures full compliance with UAE VAT regulations. Companies must maintain proper
documentation, reconciled financial data, and valid tax invoices to support any amendments submitted through Form 211.

Darji Accounting provides expert VAT Voluntary Disclosure filing services in Dubai. We identify discrepancies, verify incorrect entries, reconcile VAT records, prepare Form 211, and handle FTA queries for smooth processing. With extensive UAE VAT experience, we ensure accurate submissions, reduced penalties, and full compliance.

Circumstances for Submitting a Voluntary Disclosure

A Voluntary Disclosure is required when a business identifies any mistake in a previously filed VAT return or refund application.

Common situations include:

  • Underpayment of VAT: When the VAT reported is lower than what should have been paid.

  • Overstated Refund: When a refund claim was submitted for an amount higher than what
    the business is entitled to.

  • Overpayment of VAT: When the VAT reported is higher than what was actually due,
    allowing the business to reclaim the excess.

  • Understated Refund: When the refund claimed was less than the amount the business is
    eligible for.

  • Errors With No VAT Impact: Even if the error does not change the VAT payable or
    refundable amount, it must still be corrected through a Voluntary Disclosure.

UAE VAT Policy

Updated (2026)

VAT was introduced in the UAE and other GCC countries to standardize taxation and
improve business compliance. The UAE’s VAT policy has been updated, effective 1
January 2026, under Federal Decree-Law No. 16 of 2025. Key highlights:

  • Simplified Reverse Charge: No self-invoices required; businesses must retain valid supporting documents such as supplier
    invoices, contracts, or import records.
  • Input Tax & Refunds: VAT refund or excess input tax claims must be submitted within 5 years from the end of the relevant
    tax period.
  • Stronger Compliance Controls: The FTA can review transactions and deny input VAT recovery if linked to tax evasion, even
    when invoices appear valid.
  • E-Invoicing Mandate: Mandatory phased rollout of structured digital VAT invoices; paper and PDF invoices will be
    restricted once fully implemented.
  • VAT Rate Stability: Standard VAT rate remains 5% on taxable supplies with no current increase.
  • Record-Keeping Requirements: VAT-registered businesses must maintain accounting records and VAT documents for at
    least 7 years.
  • VAT Return Filing: VAT returns must be filed quarterly (or as assigned by FTA) within 28 days from the end of the tax
    period.
  • Late Filing & Penalties: Administrative penalties apply for late registration, late filing, late payment, or incorrect VAT
    returns, with increased scrutiny by the FTA.
