VAT Refund Services

VAT Refund Services : AARMAK

The UAE’s Value Added Tax (VAT), an indirect tax on goods and services, was introduced on January 1st, 2018, transforming the country’s tax framework. Businesses are eligible to claim VAT refunds in the UAE when their input VAT exceeds their output VAT during the VAT return filing process.

At AARMAK, we provide expert VAT refund services in Dubai, simplifying the process of securing VAT refunds from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) for businesses across the UAE.

VAT Refund Process in the UAE

Taxable persons can request a VAT refund when their input tax surpasses output tax. This is done via the VAT 311 form on the FTA website, either during VAT return filing or afterward. As registered tax agents in the UAE, AARMAK assists businesses in submitting VAT refund requests efficiently and accurately.
