I filed my VAT return a month late — how much is the penalty?

There's a fixed penalty for a first late-filing offense, and a higher one if the delay repeats within a certain period (generally 24 months). This penalty applies simply because the deadline was missed, regardless of whether the return itself is correct or any tax is even due.

Repeated delays end up far costlier than a first one, so keeping track of deadlines consistently matters more than trying to fix things after a pattern sets in. At RASEEKH, we set up a tracking calendar for every client so the return goes in on time, every time.
