You choose: upload it later, type the number, estimate from your other months, mark it not available (counted as 0), or skip it.

It depends on the service you choose. With Self-File, you or your authorised person files on mrv.ae with an approved account, and DecarbOS prepares the report in the portal's order and tells you exactly what to enter. With the "We File For You" service, our named staff register your company and submit the data for you on mrv.ae, under the Letter of Authority you sign; you do not need to log in to the portal yourself. We never ask for your password.
