This service guide details the procedure for the VAT Refund for Foreign Business Visitors with the United Arab Emirates Federal Tax Authority. It permits eligible, non-resident foreign businesses without a UAE establishment to recover Value Added Tax incurred on domestic expenses. The document specifies that applications must be submitted annually between March and August.
