Are you navigating the complexities of VAT registration in Dubai? VAT registration is a mandatory requirement for companies and individuals engaged in business activities within the UAE. This regulatory measure ensures adherence to Federal Tax Authority (FTA) guidelines and enhances financial transparency. At KVGC Tax & Business Advisory, we specialize in delivering seamless VAT registration services across the UAE, helping businesses maintain compliance and avoid potential penalties.

How to Register for VAT in Dubai?

While businesses can register for VAT through the FTA’s e-services portal, the process can be intricate without professional assistance. At KVGC, we simplify VAT registration in Dubai by managing every stage, ensuring your documentation is precise and submitted promptly.

1. FTA Account Setup: Establish an account on the FTA’s e-services portal.
2. Document Preparation: Submit trade licenses, ownership information, and financial statements.
3. Application Filing: Complete the VAT registration form with accurate business details.
4. Approval & TRN Allocation: Upon approval, the FTA issues a unique Tax Registration Number (TRN).

Categories of VAT Registration

• Mandatory VAT Registration: Applicable to businesses with annual taxable supplies or imports exceeding AED 375,000.
• Voluntary VAT Registration: Available for businesses with taxable supplies or imports between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000.

VAT Registration for New Companies in the UAE

Newly established companies must register if their anticipated turnover or imports surpass the following thresholds:

• Mandatory Threshold: AED 375,000
• Voluntary Threshold: AED 187,500

Applications below these thresholds are typically rejected; however, businesses forecasting growth should consult VAT experts like KVGC for proactive planning.

Additional VAT Registration Options

• Tax Group Registration: Related entities can register collectively under a single TRN, streamlining compliance.
• Foreign Companies: Non-resident businesses supplying goods in the UAE must register, irrespective of turnover.

Sectors Exempt from VAT

• Specific financial services (as defined by VAT legislation)
• Residential property transactions
• Transactions involving undeveloped land
• Local passenger transportation services

Advantages of VAT Registration

• Enhanced Business Credibility: Demonstrates regulatory compliance and professionalism.
