If you are a business owner in the UAE, understanding VAT is crucial for maintaining compliance and optimizing your financial operations. Unfortunately, many business owners lack complete information about VAT and may miss out on potential refunds. Did you know that you can claim VAT refunds under certain conditions? We will explain what a VAT refund is and how you can benefit from it.
A VAT refund allows businesses, tourists, and exhibitors to claim back the VAT they have paid on eligible expenses. To qualify, businesses must be VAT-registered, and their input VAT should exceed their output VAT. Finchoice Solutions can assist you in calculating and submitting your VAT accurately and determining your eligibility for a VAT refund from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
