What is VAT Return?
The VAT (Value Added Tax) return is the summary of all the purchases and supplies (goods or services) made by VAT-registered businesses/taxable individuals for a particular tax period. This summary, including the details of the tax imposed at every stage of sale/purchase, reflects the tax liability of the taxable persons – which is to be submitted to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

- Enter Information
Here, a few details of the taxable person like name, tax registration number, etc. will have to be filled in.
- Mentioning VAT Sales and Expenses
For the current tax period, all the relevant details of VAT sales and expenses – like the zero-rated supplies, exempt supplies, etc. – have to be submitted. Also, all the expenses bearing the current VAT rate of 5% are to be submitted.
- Due Net VAT Calculations
The taxable person’s net VAT due calculations have to be shown here. For the due amount that is higher than the recoverable amount, the tax authority is to be paid. If vice versa, a VAT refund can be claimed.
