In accordance with the Ninth Schedule to the VAT Act, exempt bodies or persons are exempted from payment of VAT in respect of specified goods and services.

The file containing the required information can be submitted on the e-filing facilities put in place by the MRA manually or by uploading a CSV file. In order to access this e-filing platform, the exempt person should use his existing credentials i.e Tax Account Number (TAN) and password.
