Understanding VAT in the UAE: What Every Business Should Know

What is VAT and Who Needs to Register?
VAT is an indirect tax levied on the consumption of goods and services. Businesses earning over AED 375,000 annually are required to register, while those earning over AED 187,500 may do so voluntarily. Registration must be done through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

Key VAT Challenges Faced by Businesses:

  • Late registration or filing
  • Incorrect invoices or missing TRNs
  • Misunderstanding of input/output tax
  • Lack of proper documentation
