Filing the VAT Return

If you need to submit a VAT return that’s accurate and fully compliant with your local tax authority, Wafeq makes the process simple with a dedicated VAT Report generated automatically based on your recorded transactions.

In Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the report is fully aligned with the official filing format and can be downloaded directly at the end of your tax period.

For countries not yet officially supported, the report still provides detailed VAT information to help you complete your return manually with ease.

Viewing Your VAT Return Report

Go to “Reports” from the main menu, then click on “VAT Report”.

Review for Errors Before exporting the VAT return

Before exporting your VAT return, make sure all invoices and credit/debit notes have the correct tax applied.

Within the VAT report, click “VAT Checklist” to see any alerts such as “Invoices without Tax” or “Credit Notes without Tax”.
These transactions will be excluded from the report unless a proper tax rate is applied.

To resolve these issues, click “View” next to each alert to review the affected transactions and correct them directly.

For a detailed explanation of common VAT return errors and how to fix them, refer to this guide.

Exporting the VAT Return

Once you've verified that all data is accurate and transactions are correctly reflected in the VAT report, you can export the return for submission to the tax authority.

Click the “Export” button, then select the appropriate file format.
