Before you submit

  • Worth checking

    81 days left to submit — the window closes on 2026-12-10.

  • For your information

    AED 5,950.00 of VAT has been excluded across 2 items that do not qualify — things like furniture, appliances and landscaping.

  • Must fix

    1 invoice is not in your name. They will be rejected as they stand.

    Ask each supplier to reissue the invoice in your name. We can draft that request for you in Arabic or English.

  • Must fix

    Your bank details were provided as a screenshot. The FTA does not accept screenshots for this.

    Ask your bank for a letter on their letterhead showing your name, the bank's name and your IBAN.

  • For your information

    Keep your original invoices somewhere safe. The verification team usually asks for supporting documents within 25 working days of submission — we hold the invoice numbers, so we can tell you exactly which ones to send.
