The money you withheld was never yours. Pick the month you already paid. Their share, your share, and the total owed. Nothing above seventy thousand counts. One row per covered employee. This one earns above the ceiling. It's flagged. Nationals are in the scheme. Expats aren't. And it totals. Change the country. Everything underneath changes with it. A different fund. A different ceiling. Three formats out. The file the portal expects. You calculated it, and you can file it.
Frequently asked questions
What does the contributions page show?
The employee's share, the employer's share and the total owed for a month you have already paid, with one row per covered employee and a total at the bottom.
How is the contribution ceiling handled?
Nothing above the ceiling counts — seventy thousand dirhams a month in the UAE — and an employee earning above it is flagged on their row.
Does Ahlan Hamad submit the contributions to the fund?
No. It calculates them and gives you three export formats, including the layout the portal expects, so you can file them. Change the country and the fund, the ceiling and the totals all change with it.
