Most taxable persons are assigned quarterly tax periods, while high turnover entities receive monthly assignments. Asad Abbas & Co. prepares and submits returns within the 28-day statutory deadline following the tax period, reconciling output tax, input tax, and adjustments before submission through the EmaraTax portal.

Fees for filing VAT returns in Abu Dhabi depend on transaction volume, number of tax invoices processed, complexity of input tax positions, and whether historic clean-up is required. Asad Abbas & Co. issues fee estimates after a scoping call covering ledger volume, revenue streams, and reconciliation scope. Recurring quarterly engagements are priced separately from one-off submissions, pending return filings, and voluntary disclosures. A formal proposal is issued before engagement commences.
