How Zama Delivers VAT Return Filing Services

Zama begins by reviewing your accounting records for the relevant VAT period. We ensure all transactions are recorded correctly and categorized according to VAT treatment. This includes reviewing invoices, expenses, and supporting documentation.

Once data accuracy is confirmed, we calculate output VAT, verify eligible input VAT, and reconcile figures with your financial records. Any discrepancies are identified and corrected before submission.

The VAT return is then prepared and submitted through the Federal Tax Authority portal. We also advise on VAT payment timelines or refund expectations and provide ongoing support for any clarification requests from the authority.
