End-to-End VAT Support for UAE Businesses

Value Added Tax (VAT) in the UAE is set at a standard rate of 5% and applies to most goods and services. It was introduced on January 1, 2018, to diversify the country’s revenue sources. Businesses that cross the mandatory threshold are required to register for VAT and comply with relevant regulations.

What this means for Businesses in the UAE

  • Thresholds: Mandatory registration when taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in the last 12 months or next 30 days; voluntary registration from AED 187,500 (supplies or expenses).
  • Filing cadence: Most entities file quarterly; the FTA may assign monthly filing for high-turnover or high-risk sectors.
  • Compliance basics: Correct tax invoices, records retention, reverse-charge handling, and on-time VAT returns & payments are essential to avoid penalties.
  • Zones: Understand the treatment of Designated Zones and the difference between zero-rated and exempt supplies
  • Controls: Reconciliations between ERP/ledgers, sales & purchase registers, and submitted returns reduce audit exposure.

FAQ - VAT Services

There are 3 criterias for the registration of VAT: On the Basis of Sales: If the sales turnover crosses AED 187,500 (Voluntary Threshold), VAT registration can be done at the discretion of the client. But once the sales turnover exceeds AED 375,000 (the mandatory threshold), VAT registration must be completed within 30 days. On the Basis of Expenses: If the taxable expenses exceed AED 187,500, the company is eligible to apply for VAT registration on a voluntary basis. Local Purchase Order (LPO) Basis Clarification: The FTA requires registration based on taxable supplies/expenses thresholds. An LPO requirement may be a commercial necessity from your customer but is not a legal trigger on its own; we assess your historic 12-month and expected 30-day turnover to confirm the correct path (mandatory vs. voluntary).

 Delay in the submission of the UAE VAT Return will result in penalties imposed by FTA:
 A fine of AED 1,000 for late submission for the initial occurrence.
 A fine of AED 2,000 for delayed submission for the next occurrence.

 Note: The FTA updates its Administrative Penalties from time to time and separate penalties may apply for late payment, incorrect returns, or record-keeping failures. We provide a filing calendar and reminders to minimise risk.

Yes, you can. If your company’s taxable income stays under AED 187,500 for 12 consecutive months, it must proceed with TRN deregistration, as it no longer meets the voluntary VAT registration threshold.
Nuance: Deregistration may also apply on cessation of business or if you are no longer making taxable supplies. We confirm eligibility and manage portal filings.

 Trade licence, MoA/attested formation documents, owners/partners IDs, bank IBAN letter, tenancy/utility (if requested), financial statements or management accounts, and authorised signatory evidence for the FTA portal.

 In specific cases, pre-registration input VAT on goods/services used to make taxable supplies may be recoverable (subject to timing and documentation). We assess eligibility and prepare workings.

Designated Zones can have special rules (e.g., certain movements treated as outside the State). We confirm the exact zone status and supply chain flows before advising.
