VAT Registration
in UAE Made Easy

The mandatory VAT registration threshold in the UAE is AED 375,000 in annual taxable supplies and imports. Businesses whose taxable turnover exceeds this amount are legally required to register for VAT with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Additionally, businesses with annual taxable supplies and imports exceeding AED 187,500 can voluntarily register for VAT.

Failure to register for VAT when required can result in significant penalties, including:

• A fine of AED 20,000 for late registration.
• Further penalties for failing to file VAT returns or pay VAT on time.
• Potential audits and legal action by the Federal Tax Authority.

Timely registration is essential to avoid these financial and legal consequences.

The VAT registration process typically takes 3 to 5 working days once all required documents are submitted and the application is complete. With DocuBay’s expert assistance, we ensure that your application is accurate and compliant, minimizing delays and expediting approval.
