Filing VAT return



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

• 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 easily.

Viewing Your VAT Return Report

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



Select a suitable date range at the top of the page. You can use preset options like quarterly periods or choose a custom date range that matches your tax period.





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.



The transactions will appear, and you can then select the appropriate percentage in the Tax Rate field.

Once updated, they will be automatically included in the VAT return.



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.
