VAT Return Filing for Construction & Contracting Businesses

Why VAT Return Filing

GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax application for VAT Return Filing, uploads the paperwork and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is granted. Penalties for late VAT Return Filing or late filing start at fixed amounts and grow with delay, which is why GoldenKey diarises every deadline for its clients. VAT Return Filing is a sensible home for construction & contracting because building, civil works, MEP and specialist contracting for clients across the UAE is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
