How we help

UAE VAT registration starts with reviewing the business and its transaction records. We help organise the evidence for an application and identify the practical steps needed to move from registration into routine invoicing, record keeping and return preparation.

When does a UAE business have to register for VAT?

VAT registration is mandatory once the total value of your taxable supplies and imports exceeds AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, or when you expect to exceed it within the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500, which is often worth taking early if you are incurring recoverable input VAT before revenue arrives. The obligation is forward-looking, so a single large contract can trigger it before your trailing revenue does.

Common questions

Should I organise my records before applying for VAT?

Yes. Consistent turnover and transaction information helps the registration review and reduces avoidable follow-up. We identify the supporting records needed for your circumstances before preparing an application.

Who This Is For

Businesses approaching or past the AED 375,000 mandatory threshold, or founders who want to register voluntarily to reclaim input VAT early.
