Does your Business need to register for VAT in the UAE?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax applied to the purchase of goods and services. It was implemented on 1st January 2018 in the UAE and has since become a significant aspect of the UAE tax framework. Our experts have a thorough understanding of the VAT regulations in the UAE, enabling us to help you easily comprehend and comply with the UAE’s VAT policy. We assess your invoices, contracts and purchase orders to make educated decisions and avoid the risk of administrative fines or penalties.

Categories for UAE VAT Registration:
  • ✅ Mandatory Registration: If your company’s value of taxable goods and services exceeds AED 375,000 within the past 12 months or if your company’s anticipated total value of all taxable goods and services will exceed AED 375,000 in the next 30 days.
  • ✅ Voluntary Registration: If your company’s value of taxable goods and services exceeds AED 187,500 but does not exceed AED 375,000 within the past 12 months, you can select this option.
Exemptions:

The following sectors are exempt from VAT in the UAE:

  • ✔️ Bare Land: The supply of bare land, i.e., undeveloped plots
  • ✔️ Provision of Financial Services: Financial services that are not conducted for an explicit fee, discount, commission, rebate, etc.
  • ✔️ Local Passenger Transport: Services providing passenger transportation within the UAE, such as buses, taxis, and metros.
  • ✔️ Residential Properties: The lease and sale of residential buildings, other than those specifically zero-rated.

These exemptions are designed to prevent VAT from adding unnecessary costs to essential services and sectors where it might impede economic activity or affordability.

Importance of VAT Registration for Businesses in the UAE

VAT registration helps your business comply with UAE tax regulations. Failure to register your company within 30 days of reaching the threshold can expose your business to unwanted penalties. 

Financial management

In adherence to FTA regulations, maintaining precise records of your VAT-inclusive transactions—both purchases and sales—is essential. Vat registration enables accurate tax reporting on eligible supplies and imports, helping you manage your cash flow better and ensuring transparency.

Government benefits

VAT registration enables you to receive potential tax refunds and various government incentives. This can significantly reduce your overall tax liability.
