Understanding VAT Designated Zones in Dubai

The UAE’s VAT Designated Zones, recognized by the Dubai Cabinet, receive special exemptions under the UAE VAT law. These zones are required to be distinct and fenced-off areas. To qualify for this status, a Designated Zone must meet various conditions, such as maintaining stringent control, keeping accurate records of goods supplied, ensuring robust security and customs systems, and adhering to internal and FTA procedures. Should a Designated Zone alter its mode of operation, it will be considered part of Dubai for VAT purposes.

VAT Filing and Submission
Process in UAE

All UAE Firms must file their tax returns online via the FTA’s portal at eservices.tax.gov.ae. Before submitting VAT return Form 201, make sure all requirements are fulfilled.
Understanding VAT Form 201
The VAT 201 form is crucial for taxpayers to complete and submit their VAT returns. It contains multiple important sections that must be filled out accurately.
  • Monthly income statements for 2017 onward, formatted per FTA guidelines
  • Summary of the business nature and activities
  • Projected revenue for the next 30 days
  • Customs registration information, if applicable
  • Emirates ID, passport, and authorization documents of authorized signatories
Once all the necessary information has been entered, the form can be submitted. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered address by the FTA.
