Frequently Asked Questions.

Who needs to register for VAT in the UAE?

Businesses must register for VAT if their taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 annually. Businesses may also apply for voluntary VAT registration if taxable supplies or expenses exceed AED 187,500.

VAT registration approval typically takes between 5 to 20 working days, depending on the completeness of the application and supporting documents submitted to the FTA.

Once VAT registration is approved, the business receives a Tax Registration Number (TRN). The business must then start charging VAT (if applicable), issue VAT-compliant invoices, and file VAT returns as required.

Common documents include trade license, passport copies of owners, Emirates ID (if available), MOA, business activity details, and financial records or revenue proof.

Late VAT registration may result in administrative penalties from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), which can include fines of up to AED 10,000.
