UAE VAT penalty estimator
Penalties compound on a clock: 2% of unpaid tax the day the deadline passes, another 4% every month after the first, and fixed fines for the late return itself. Enter the days and see the bill.
Late-payment penalty (6%)
AED 3,000.00
Late-filing penalty
AED 1,000.00
Total exposure
AED 4,000.00
Late payment: 2% of the unpaid tax immediately after the deadline, then 4% monthly starting one month after it (1 monthly charge so far), capped at 300%. Late filing: AED 1,000 first offence, AED 2,000 on repetition within 24 months. Voluntary disclosure before an audit notice generally reduces the exposure — the numbers here assume none.
