FTA to deactivate VAT 301 form for VAT payment
Dubai- February 16, 2021:
Since the implementation of VAT in UAE, the VAT301 form has been available on e-services portal to manually process the VAT payment on Customs Declarations using the Tax Registration Number (TRN).
Recently, FTA has communicated that form VAT301 will be discontinued on 23 February, 2021 for users who have a valid TRN and were using this form earlier for settlements via their VAT returns. Anyone registered for VAT purposes and having a valid TRN, in order to continue being able to import goods via Customs, ensure that your
Customs Registration Numbers (CRN’s) are linked to your Tax Registration Number (TRN).
If you do not have a CRN, ensure you register with the Customs Department and link your CRN with TRN. Alternatively, you will only be able to import goods via a clearing company registered with the FTA or use form VAT301 to utilize the payment option.
If you are from those whom the condition and rules applies on as it is shown below :-
1– Designated entities exempted by FTA.
2- Free zone Companies that exports through land to GCC Countries from designated zones[AHA1] for the VAT purpose.
