What is VAT Registration?
VAT (Value Added Tax) Registration is the process by which a business is registered with the relevant tax authority to collect and remit VAT on taxable goods and services. In the UAE, VAT is set at a standard rate of 5%, and businesses meeting specific turnover thresholds must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
Types of VAT Registration
Mandatory Registration:
Applicable if:- The taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000 in the past 12 months.
- The business expects taxable supplies to exceed AED 375,000 in the next 30 days.
Voluntary Registration:
Applicable if:- The taxable turnover or expenses exceed AED 187,500 in the past 12 months.
- A business expects taxable turnover or expenses to exceed AED 187,500 in the next 30 days.
Exempted Registration:
- For businesses dealing in exempt supplies only.
- Not required to register but may do so voluntarily in certain cases.
