This announcement, published by the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Finance on July 11, 2023, provides information about an upcoming legal change regarding e-filing the VAT Return (VAT201) in the UAE.

The legal change is in draft form, and its effective date will depend on the completion of a strategic transformation project expected to be finalized by the first quarter of 2025. This information is based on existing legislation and regulations that the relevant authorities may change at any time.

The UAE Ministry of Finance has introduced its Transformational Projects, which include developing a new tax platform called EmaraTax. It is crucial that the e-filing content remains unaltered and that taxpayers implement the necessary controls, including a timestamp, to ensure validity. Each e-filing submitted must have its authenticity verified, and the status of every submission can be tracked, along with the details of the VAT Return. While the legal change has been announced, further details have not been officially revealed, and no additional resources are available.
