What is VAT Reclaim in the UAE?

VAT reclaim refers to the recovery of excess VAT paid on business-related expenses. Registered VAT entities in the UAE can recover VAT on a variety of transactions, including:

  1. Business Expenses

    • VAT paid on goods or services purchased for use in a taxable business activity.

  2. Import VAT

    • VAT paid on imports via UAE Customs.

  3. Foreign Businesses

    • VAT refunds for foreign businesses not established in the UAE.

  4. VAT Credit Carry Forward

    • VAT credits that can be carried forward in subsequent VAT returns.

Accurate VAT reclaim is critical. Mistakes or incorrect submissions can lead to rejection by the FTA and delays in recovery.

By engaging expert tax consultants, businesses can maximize VAT refunds while ensuring full compliance with UAE tax laws.
