Invoices that cannot carry the claim
If the purchase invoice cannot support the input tax, do not claim it. An FTA query will ask for the same PDF you never had. We keep workings with the return for that reason.
The designated-zone brochure
A free-zone setup deck is not a VAT position. Where goods sit, who invoices whom, and whether you are in a designated zone are facts. File the facts.
Catch-up is a separate job
Filing a perfect current quarter on top of four missing ones is how assessments start. Since 2024 we have taken catch-up files as catch-up: reconstruct, then file. Tell us the last accepted return.
