VAT Filing is Time-Sensitive<\/strong><\/h4><p data-start=\"3109\" data-end=\"3293\">Businesses must file VAT returns on a <strong data-start=\"3147\" data-end=\"3160\">quarterly<\/strong> or <strong data-start=\"3164\" data-end=\"3175\">monthly<\/strong> basis, depending on their revenue. If your annual turnover is over <strong data-start=\"3243\" data-end=\"3262\">AED 150 million<\/strong>, monthly filings are required.<\/p><p data-start=\"3295\" data-end=\"3413\">Returns must be submitted within <strong data-start=\"3328\" data-end=\"3339\">28 days<\/strong> after the tax period ends. Missing the deadline incurs serious penalties:<\/p><ul data-start=\"3415\" data-end=\"3547\"><li data-start=\"3415\" data-end=\"3458\"><p data-start=\"3417\" data-end=\"3458\">AED 1,000 for the first late submission<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"3459\" data-end=\"3492\"><p data-start=\"3461\" data-end=\"3492\">AED 2,000 for repeated delays<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"3493\" data-end=\"3547\"><p data-start=\"3495\" data-end=\"3547\">2% interest on unpaid VAT (rising to 300% over time)<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"3549\" data-end=\"3639\">Even if you had <strong data-start=\"3565\" data-end=\"3579\">zero sales<\/strong>, you still need to file your VAT return to avoid penalties.<\/p><h4 data-start=\"3646\" data-end=\"3702\"><strong data-start=\"3650\" data-end=\"3702\">6.
