Quarter end · VAT 201 ready

Quarter end, without the dread.

Posific charges UAE VAT at the till and keeps the evidence. When the quarter closes, your VAT 201 figures are already there, with every invoice behind every box.

Where you file, as always

01 · At the till

VAT, right the first time.

The Owner sets the tax rule once, for example 5% VAT included in prices, and every sale follows it; cashiers can't change it at checkout. Receipts show the VAT inside the total, A4 tax invoices carry your company details, and returns issue credit notes.

  • One tax policy set by the Owner
  • VAT-inclusive shelf prices
  • Tax invoices and credit notes
  • Invoice numbers in sequence

02 · The return

Your VAT 201, worked out.

For each tax period Posific adds up standard-rated sales for your emirate, standard-rated expenses, the tax due, the tax you can recover and the amount to pay or reclaim, and checks that the return agrees with the books. Credit notes reduce the period they're issued in.

Behind every figure are the registers: each tax invoice, credit note, bill and expense, ready for your accountant or an FTA audit.

  • Box 1 sales for your emirate
  • Box 9 standard-rated expenses
  • Boxes 12, 13 and 14 worked out
  • Agreement with the books, checked

03 · Before you file

What's yours to add.

Some things never pass through a shop's till. Imports, reverse-charge purchases, exempt supplies and tourist refunds aren't recorded in Posific, so the return reminds you to add any on the FTA portal. You file and pay on EmaraTax by the due date shown for the period.

  • Reminders for imports and reverse charge
  • Due date shown for the period
  • Accountant pack for your tax agent

Q-END

Quarter end, without the dread.

See it in the life of a sale

Honest print

Good to know.

Posific doesn't file for you

It prepares the figures and the evidence. You, or your tax agent, review and file the VAT 201 on EmaraTax.

Standard-rated retail

Posific applies your one tax policy to every sale. If you make zero-rated or exempt supplies, agree with your accountant how to report them.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does Posific file my VAT return?

No. It prepares your VAT 201 figures and the registers behind them. You or your tax agent file and pay on the FTA's EmaraTax portal.

Are prices shown including VAT?

Yes, if that's your tax policy. Shelf prices include 5% VAT and every receipt shows the VAT inside the total.

When is the VAT return due?

The FTA sets your tax periods, most often quarterly, and a return is due within 28 days of the end of the period. Posific shows the due date for the period you're looking at.

What about imports and reverse charge?

They aren't recorded in Posific. The return lists them as things to add on the FTA portal if you had any in the period.
