The new-home VAT refund for UAE nationals can return a significant amount, but many claims are delayed because of avoidable problems in the file.

Common reasons for delay or rejection

1. Missing the 12-month deadline from the completion date.
2. Invoices without a valid supplier TRN or not showing the VAT amount.
3. Invoices in someone else’s name, such as a relative or the contractor.
4. Payments that do not match the invoices, or no proof of payment.
5. Ineligible costs included in the claim.
6. Missing documents, such as the completion certificate or the contract with the main contractor.

Checklist before you submit

• Completion certificate and building permit
• Title deed or land allocation document
• Contract with the main contractor
• All tax invoices, checked one by one
• Bank transfers or receipts matching each invoice
