VAT Return Filing in UAE
Quarterly VAT 201 Returns. Filed On Time, Every Time.
Every VAT-registered business in the UAE must file its return within 28 days of the period end — and FTA penalties start at AED 1,000 and compound daily. Sky Sigma prepares, reconciles, and files your VAT 201 return on EmaraTax every period, on a fixed monthly plan sized to your business. You approve the numbers; we handle the rest.

Everything Your VAT Filing Needs — Covered
From routine quarterly submissions to catch-up filings and voluntary disclosures — one fixed monthly plan covers your full filing obligation.
How Your VAT Return Gets Filed
A fixed three-step cycle, every tax period — no chasing, no surprises, no last-minute panic.
Books Review & VAT Position
We review your sales and purchase records for the period, classify supplies correctly, and reconcile output and input VAT to your accounting system.
Prepare & Approve VAT 201
Your return is prepared and shared with you for approval before anything is submitted — with a clear summary of what you owe or what the FTA owes you.
File on EmaraTax & Confirm
We submit through the EmaraTax portal, confirm acceptance, and send you the filing confirmation plus payment instructions well before the deadline.
Fixed Monthly Pricing. No Surprises.
Your monthly fee is confirmed upfront after a free review of your books — sized to your transaction volume, with VAT return filing included. It never changes mid-quarter, and it typically costs less than a single AED 1,000 late-filing penalty. Behind on your filings? Ask about our catch-up packages.
Why VAT Return Filing Goes Wrong — And How We Prevent It
Most VAT penalties in the UAE are not caused by fraud — they are caused by routine filing mistakes. Supplies classified under the wrong rate, input VAT claimed on non-recoverable expenses, reverse charge transactions missed entirely, or returns simply filed late because the 28-day window closed faster than expected. The FTA's EmaraTax system cross-checks your filings, and discrepancies trigger audits.
Sky Sigma removes the failure points. Your books are reconciled before every filing, every supply is classified against current FTA guidance, and your return is prepared days before the deadline — not hours. You receive the completed VAT 201 for approval with a plain-language summary of what you owe and why, so you are never signing off on numbers you do not understand.
And if your past returns have problems, we fix those too: late return catch-ups, voluntary disclosures for errors above AED 10,000, and penalty reconsideration requests where the FTA has already issued fines. The earlier errors are corrected, the lower the cost — voluntary disclosure penalties are a fraction of what an FTA audit finding costs.
