Disclaimer

No advice, and no client relationship

Reading this site, or using a calculator on it, does not make you our client and does not create any professional duty on our part. Advice requires knowing your facts. We give it under a written engagement, arranged through exiloz.com.

The figures, and where they come from

We name the source of every rule cited here so you can check it:

• the 5% standard rate, and the AED 375,000 and AED 187,500 registration thresholds — Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017 on Value Added Tax, as amended, Articles 3, 13 and 17;
• the 28-day filing and payment deadline — the Executive Regulation, Cabinet Decision No. 52 of 2017, Article 64, as amended;
• the AED 1,000 / AED 2,000 late filing penalties, the 2% immediate and 4% monthly late payment penalties, and the AED 10,000 late registration penalty — Cabinet Decision No. 49 of 2021 on administrative penalties.

Tax law changes. The Federal Tax Authority issues new decisions, public clarifications and guides, and any of them can overtake what is written here. Always confirm the current position at tax.gov.ae before you rely on a number.

What the calculators do not know

The tools on this site are deliberately simple. Specifically:

• the deadline countdown assumes a standard monthly or quarterly tax period and the standard 28-day rule. It does not know your assigned period, a longer first period after registration, or a deadline shifted by a weekend or public holiday;
• the penalty meter applies the standard penalty structure to the numbers you type. It does not know your filing history, whether the FTA has raised an assessment, or whether a waiver, reconsideration or instalment arrangement applies;
• the registration check tests the figures you enter against the two thresholds. It does not look month by month, so it cannot tell you the exact month you crossed — which is the date the FTA backdates liability to. The full eligibility checker does that.

Treat every output as an indication that a conversation is warranted, not as an amount owed.

No government affiliation

We do not collect tax, issue penalties, or grant registrations, exemptions or waivers. Official filings are made through the FTA's EmaraTax portal on a client's own instruction and authority.

No guaranteed outcome

We cannot and do not guarantee any particular result — that a refund will be paid, that a penalty will be waived or reduced, that a clarification will go your way, or that an audit will close without adjustment. Those decisions rest with the Federal Tax Authority.
