Value Added Tax (VAT) is a 5% tax on most goods and services in the UAE. If your business turnover crosses the mandatory threshold, you must register for VAT and file regular returns.

When do I need to register?

Registration becomes mandatory once your taxable turnover passes AED 375,000 in a 12-month period. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500.

  • Register on time to avoid penalties
