WhatsApp quotePut simply, the Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes VAT Return Filing a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting supporting documents must match your licence exactly. GoldenKey handles VAT Return Filing for the companies we form and for businesses that come to us later, so the process is routine for our tax team. In practice, austrian firms supply building technology, rail and hospitality expertise to UAE projects, which gives Austrian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their VAT Return Filing licence is released. From day one, austrians are a small community of engineers, hospitality managers and traders, so the VAT Return Filing authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Austrian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why VAT Return Filing
Penalties for late VAT Return Filing or late filing start at fixed amounts and grow with delay, and for that reason GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its customers. GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax request for VAT Return Filing, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is released. Austrian applicants benefit from the fact that VAT Return Filing already has many Austrian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Austria documents and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss the VAT Return Filing deadline?
From day one, late registration attracts a fixed penalty, and late filings add further penalties. If you are already late, GoldenKey can register you and advise on penalty reconsideration where grounds exist.
Does VAT Return Filing apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Filing starts from the first tax period after registration, even if the return is nil.
How long does VAT Return Filing take with the FTA?
The FTA normally responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.
Can a Austrian citizen own 100% of a company in VAT Return Filing?
Yes. Austrians can own the full share capital of a VAT Return Filing company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
How long does the process take for Austrian applicants?
Processing for Austrians follows the same timeline as other nationalities. Documents from Austria that need attestation are the main variable, and GoldenKey guides you through that step.
