Draft a voluntary disclosure to correct a filed return

Steps

1. 1

   Open the filed return

   In Tax Intelligence select Returns, choose 2026 and Q3 and select Compute VAT Return. The return is filed, so computing never changes the figures as filed. The green panel says that today's data gives the same figures as filed. The missing invoice is not in the system, so the app cannot see the error: you correct it with a disclosure.

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

   Select More, then Voluntary Disclosures

   Select More and, under Filing, corrections and sign-off, select Voluntary Disclosures. The page opens with the form New Voluntary Disclosure. Return type is already VAT.

3. 3

   Choose the filed return being corrected

   Open Filed return being corrected and choose the return for 1 July to 30 September 2026, shown with its status Filed and its net VAT of 6,680 dirhams. This links the disclosure to the return. The amount as filed is filled in from it.

   • Select Not linked to a return
4. 4

   Enter the disclosure date

   In Disclosure date enter the day you make the disclosure, here 13 October 2026. The date matters for the penalty, which grows with the time since the original due date.

   • Type Disclosure date: 2026-10-13
5. 5

   Check the amount as filed and type the corrected amount

   Original, as-filed, amount reads 6680, the net VAT that was filed. In Corrected amount type what it should have been: 6830. Type the whole corrected figure, not the difference.

   • Type Corrected amount (AED): 6830

   

6. 6

   Explain the error

   In Reason, narrative, explain the error being corrected in plain words: which document, which period, and the effect on the tax.

   • Type Reason / narrative: Sales invoice MST-INV-7106 of 3,000 dirhams dated 28 September 2026 wa…
7. 7

   Select Create Disclosure

   Select Create Disclosure. The disclosure is saved as a draft and the form is cleared. A panel under it shows the difference, 150 dirhams, and a penalty preview. It also says this disclosure is voluntary: the difference is below 10,000 dirhams, so the error may instead be corrected in the next return.

   • Select Create Disclosure
8. 8

   Find the draft in the Disclosures list

   The Disclosures list at the bottom shows the date, the return, the difference, the penalty, the status Draft and the Form 211 reference, which is still empty. View opens the detail.

9. 9

   Select View

   Select View. The detail shows the linked return, the amount as filed, the corrected amount, the difference, the penalty preview and your reason. It says whether the disclosure is mandatory: a difference above 10,000 dirhams must be disclosed.

   • Select View
10. 10

    Know what Submit does

    Close the detail. Submit, on the line of the draft, is for later, after the disclosure has been made on the authority's portal. It asks for the Form 211 reference, goes through the same approval policy as filing a return, and then changes the filed return to Amended with the corrected figures. Do not select it now: the draft stays here until then.
