UAE VAT Registration & Compliance

Registration, return filing, reverse-charge and refund handling — VAT run correctly so input tax is recovered and the FTA finds nothing to question.

Overview

VAT that recovers what it should.

At 5%, UAE VAT is low but unforgiving — errors in registration, reverse charge or input recovery surface quickly in an FTA review. We register you, run accurate returns, recover input tax that is rightfully yours, and keep the records that make a VAT audit a non-event.

Companies with import, export or reverse-charge transactions
Groups seeking VAT grouping or refund recovery
Businesses correcting past VAT errors before the FTA does

FAQ

UAE VAT, answered.

When must I register for VAT?
Registration is mandatory once taxable supplies exceed the mandatory threshold, and available voluntarily above the voluntary threshold. We confirm where you stand and register you correctly.
Can I recover the VAT I pay on costs?
Recoverable input VAT can be reclaimed against output VAT, subject to blocked items. We make sure you recover what you are entitled to and exclude what you are not.
What happens if past returns had errors?
Errors can be corrected through voluntary disclosure. We quantify the exposure and regularise it before it becomes an FTA penalty.
