Understanding VAT in the UAE:
Introduced on January 1, 2018, Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption-based tax levied on the supply of goods and services in the UAE. With a standard rate of 5%, VAT affects almost all businesses operating in the country.
Whether you are a small enterprise or a large corporation, VAT registration is a legal requirement if your annual turnover exceeds the mandatory threshold set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
Our team at Key Consult stays up-to-date with the latest VAT regulations, ensuring you navigate the complex tax landscape with ease.
VAT Registration Criteria and Required Documents
VAT Registration in UAE can be divided in two categories:
a) Voluntary VAT Registration in UAE
In case where, in the past 12 months, the value of supplies/taxable expenses exceeded AED 187,500 & it is expected to exceed 30 days in the current fiscal year.
