After filing: the frozen period, the closed deadline and the package

Steps

1. 1

   Open the filed return

   In Tax Intelligence select Returns, choose 2026 and Q3 and select Compute VAT Return. The status line now reads Filed and Submit and Lock has gone. A green panel, Return filed, recomputed figures match, says that today's data gives the same figures as filed, and shows the figures as filed. Computing a filed period never overwrites them.

   • Select Returns
   • Choose Year: 2026
   • Select Q3
   • Select Compute VAT Return
2. 2

   Look at the locked transactions

   Select Work, hide the menu and scroll the list sideways. Every transaction of the quarter now carries a small VAT lock beside its buttons, and its pencil and bin are greyed out. The rows stay visible, but they can no longer be edited or deleted.

   • Select Work
   • Select Hide navigation
3. 3

   Open the Filing Tracker

   Select the Dock navigation icon to bring the menu back, and under Tax choose Filing Tracker. The VAT Return Filing line for 1 July to 30 September 2026 now shows the reference you typed, the word Filed with the date submitted, and the status Filed. Nobody recorded anything here: locking the return completed the deadline.

   • Select Dock navigation
   • Select Filing Tracker
4. 4

   Read the tiles

   The tiles have caught up: 1 total filing, 1 filed, none due soon, none overdue, and compliance of 100 percent.

5. 5

   Select the Filed section

   In the list on the left select Filed. The VAT return is listed with its due date and the note Filed through the tax return, no separate filing record: nobody had to record it here. Open the return, on the right, leads to the filed package. Deadlines that are not linked to a return are recorded here by hand with Record filing.

   • Select Filed1 (1)

   

6. 6

   Select the Reminders section

   Select Reminders. Default reminders for this entity apply to every filing deadline. The page says that no default is saved yet, so no reminders are sent. The suggested settings remind people 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 days before a deadline, inside the app.

   • Select Reminders
7. 7

   Read who is reminded and when a deadline is escalated

   Who gets reminders is everyone on the entity unless you choose people. Escalate after sets how many days overdue a deadline may be, with no filing recorded, before the escalation recipients are told. Save default switches the reminders on. Saving needs the right to edit filing settings.

8. 8

   Select View filing on the VAT line

   Go back to Filing Status and select View filing on the VAT line. Submitted Packages opens, the list of filed and locked periods, with the package of this return already open. It shows how many transactions were locked and lists the vaulted documents: the acknowledgement attached at Submit and Lock, with the start of its fingerprint.

   • Select Filing Status1 (1)
   • Select View filing
9. 9

   Close the package and read the list

   Close the package. The list shows the filed period with its type, period, filing date, reference, number of documents and the status Locked. View opens the package again. The same page is reached from More, Submitted Packages, and from the Archive button above the Transactions list.

   • Select Close
10. 10

    Open Voluntary Disclosures

    Go back to Tax Intelligence, select More and select Voluntary Disclosures. A voluntary disclosure, the authority's Form 211, is how a filed return is corrected. The page explains that a difference above 10,000 dirhams must be disclosed. With the tax manager's role you can read the list, but a note says that creating and submitting disclosures requires admin or compliance officer access. The next lesson shows the compliance officer drafting one.
