Value Added Tax

VAT Registration

Businesses in the UAE are required to register for VAT if their taxable revenue exceeds AED 375,000. Companies with taxable supplies above AED 187,500 may choose voluntary VAT registration through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

Overview

About VAT Registration

Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax implemented in the United Arab Emirates as part of the country's economic framework. Businesses operating in the UAE must assess their taxable activities to determine whether VAT registration is required under Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations.

VAT registration becomes mandatory when a business exceeds AED 375,000 in annual taxable turnover. Businesses generating more than AED 187,500 in taxable revenue may also apply for voluntary registration, which can provide additional operational and financial advantages.

Once registered, businesses receive a Tax Registration Number (TRN) and are required to comply with UAE VAT regulations, including maintaining accurate financial records, issuing VAT compliant invoices, and submitting VAT returns within the required deadlines.

At Oakmont, we support businesses throughout the VAT registration process by assisting with documentation, compliance procedures, and communication with the Federal Tax Authority to help ensure a smooth and efficient registration experience.
