Value Added Tax

Stay VAT-Compliant.
Recover More. Risk Less.

Value Added Tax has been a cornerstone of the UAE's fiscal framework since its introduction on 1 January 2018. At a standard rate of 5%, VAT applies to the majority of goods and services transacted across the country - placing a clear obligation on registered businesses to collect, report, and remit tax accurately and on time.

Mandatory registration applies to any business with taxable supplies or imports exceeding AED 375,000 per annum. Businesses exceeding AED 187,500 may register voluntarily - a strategic move that can significantly improve cash flow through input tax recovery.

Companies with annual turnover below AED 150 million file quarterly; those above file monthly. Missing a deadline carries strict penalties from the Federal Tax Authority.

Beyond registration and filing, VAT compliance demands ongoing attention to invoice structures, expense claims, zero-rated and exempt supplies, intercompany transactions, and sector-specific treatments.
