What is a VAT Refund?
All registered businesses must file a VAT return uae detailing their sales, purchases, output VAT collected, and input VAT paid during the tax period. The amount received from sales is known as output VAT, and the amount paid to suppliers for purchases and expenses is known as input VAT Registration. The output VAT can be reduced by the eligible input VAT. , there are two possible outcomes:
VAT Payable: If output VAT exceeds input VA return uae, the balance must be paid to the FTA VAT as VAT payable.
VAT Refundable: In the event that input VAT surpasses output VAT, the difference is refundable.
How UAE VAT Law Treats VAT Refundable
There are two options for dealing with excess input VAT or VAT refundable:
Request a VAT refund from the FTA
Carry over the surplus input VAT Registration to succeeding tax periods to offset future VAT liabilities. Later on, the excess can be refunded at any time.
How to Claim a VAT Refund
You can obtain a refund on the VAT return if you have extra input VAT.
Select “Yes” in box 15 “Do you wish to request a refund for the above amount of excess recoverable tax?” to claim a refund. Selecting “No” carries forward the excess to future periods.
