We help UAE businesses with all aspects of VAT registration and return filings

VAT was introduced in the United Arab Emirates on 1 January 2018. The general VAT rate is 5% and applies to most goods and services, with some goods and services subject to a 0% rate or an exemption from VAT (subject to specific conditions being met).

VAT law in UAE mandates that businesses are required to register for VAT if the total value of taxable supplies and imports in a year exceeds AED 375,000. Also, businesses in UAE can voluntarily obtain registration if the total value of supplies and imports or expenditures in a year exceeds AED 187,500.

VAT-registered businesses must submit a VAT return and make payment of VAT liability every quarter to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

As per the UAE VAT Law, some UAE businesses are allowed to apply for a VAT registration exemption provided all of their supplies are zero-rated.

VAT-registered businesses must file VAT returns on a quarterly/monthly basis. Our team handles the VAT return filings on behalf of our clients.

VAT Implications for Free Zone Companies

Historically, Free Zones have been excluded from the territorial scope of the UAE. For VAT purposes, this is not automatically the case. Only Designated Zones qualify for a special VAT treatment. Companies registered in Free Zones that do not qualify as “Designated Zones” must register for VAT if it meets the eligibility criteria.

Designated Zones are


Subject to strict control criteria;


• Required to have security procedures in place to control the movement of goods and people to and from the Designated Zone;


• Required to have Customs procedures to control the movement of goods into and out of the Designated Zone; and

• Treated as being outside the territory of the UAE for VAT purposes for certain supplies of goods.
