Input-VAT refunds often take 45–60 days to hit your bank. Meanwhile, suppliers still want cash.

Two-Step Solution

  1. File fast, file clean
    • Submit e-Form 311 by the 28 th.
    • Upload invoices in FTA-approved XML or PDF.
  2. Use a VAT-bridge facility
    Draw only the expected refund amount; tenor = FTA processing window. Typical cost: 1–2 % flat—often less than missing early-payment discounts.
Case Snapshot: Trading firm bridged AED 500 k VAT for 55 days, paid 1.2 % fee, and saved 2 % on supplier discounts—net positive cash gain.
