VAT registration, return filing and deregistration, made manageable.Connect your invoices and accounting records with your VAT reporting.Get a clear action plan for the stage your business is at today.
VAT work starts with understanding what you sell, what you buy and how those transactions are recorded. Our team helps organise the evidence and address the questions behind your application or return.
VAT Return Filing
Bring your sales, purchases and tax records together for each assigned reporting period. We review transaction summaries, credit notes and supporting invoices, reconcile relevant balances and flag discrepancies for clarification. The return is prepared for your review before filing assistance, with the working schedules and acknowledgement retained for your records.
Sales and purchase schedule review
VAT reconciliation and exception checks
Return preparation and submission support
VAT Registration
Understand your registration position before submitting an application. We assess the information you provide about supplies, expenses and business activities, identify the documentation needed and assist with the EmaraTax application. Our team supports responses to additional information requests and helps you organise the details needed to begin reporting once registered.

Application document preparation
FTA query and status follow-up
VAT Deregistration
Closing a business or changing its activity does not by itself close a VAT account. We assess your circumstances, review outstanding returns and balances, and assist with the deregistration application where appropriate. The engagement includes identifying final-return requirements and the supporting evidence needed to follow the application through to the authority's decision.

A practical review—not just data entry
Invoice treatment, reporting periods and ledger balances need to agree. We work with your team to resolve missing tax invoices, unclear credit notes, unusual transactions and differences between accounting totals and return schedules. Our proposal states which entities and periods are included. Historical corrections, refund applications or specialist transaction advice are discussed separately when needed. We explain what remains outstanding so that an application or filing is not mistaken for confirmation that every obligation has been completed.
How your VAT engagement works
A repeatable document and approval process helps keep each reporting cycle organised, with enough time to investigate exceptions.
01
Confirm your VAT position
We discuss your business activities, registration status, assigned periods and any FTA correspondence. For a new registration or deregistration, we establish the facts and records required to assess the proposed application.
02
Collect and reconcile
Your team provides sales and purchase listings, invoices, credit notes and relevant accounting reports. We compare the information, identify gaps and raise focused queries about transactions that need explanation before reporting.
03
Review and approve
We prepare the agreed application or return and explain the material issues identified. You review the information and confirm its completeness before authorising the next step. Unresolved items are highlighted rather than silently assumed.
04
Submit and maintain records
We assist with submission, preserve the acknowledgement and outline follow-up actions. For ongoing filing, we help establish the next document cut-off; for deregistration, we track outstanding requirements and the application status.
VAT support for everyday business situations
The right work depends on your transactions and registration status, not simply the size of your company.
01
Businesses assessing registration
If your activity or turnover has changed, gather the relevant records before deciding what to do. We help review your registration position and prepare a documented application where the applicable conditions are met.
02
Registered trading and service firms
Regular invoicing creates recurring reporting work. We help your finance team organise the return cycle, reconcile tax balances and deal with questions about incomplete records, credit notes or unusual transactions.
03
Companies changing or closing operations
Business changes may leave reporting obligations unresolved. We assess the VAT account, identify outstanding periods and help you understand the evidence and final steps needed for a deregistration application.

VAT registration and filing questions
Can you assess whether we should register for VAT?
Yes. Share your business activities and relevant supply and expense records. We review the applicable registration criteria against those facts and explain the documents needed. An assessment is not a guarantee that the FTA will approve an application.
What documents are useful for a VAT return?
Sales and purchase listings, tax invoices, credit notes and VAT ledger reports are a useful starting point. Depending on your transactions, import records and other supporting documents may also be needed. We provide a checklist tailored to the reporting period.
Does submitting a deregistration request end all VAT obligations?
No. Outstanding returns and liabilities still need attention. The FTA's deregistration process includes final-return and settlement requirements before completion. We help identify those steps and track the application rather than assuming submission means closure.
Can you work with our existing accountant?
Yes. We can agree a division of responsibilities with your accountant or internal team, including who prepares transaction listings, answers queries and approves the return. Any bookkeeping clean-up or historical correction work is scoped separately.
