VAT Return Filing for Marketing & Advertising Agency Businesses

Why VAT Return Filing

From day one, late filing penalties start at AED 1,000 and errors can be corrected through voluntary disclosure. The steps for VAT Return Filing are: reconcile sales and purchase invoices, calculate output and input tax, submit the return on EmaraTax and then pay any VAT due by the 28th of the following month. GoldenKey has licensed marketing & advertising agency in VAT Return Filing for clients ranging from solo business owners to groups opening a regional branch, so we know which sub-activities to list.
