VAT Registration & Filing in Dubai

Complete VAT registration, filing, and compliance services for UAE businesses

Stay Ahead of VAT Deadlines and Penalties

VAT rules aren’t static either. The FTA regularly updates thresholds, filing categories, and compliance requirements — and it’s easy for a business owner to miss a change buried in a circular or notification while they’re focused on actually running their company. What was compliant last year might not be compliant today, and ignorance of an update doesn’t exempt you from the penalty.

This is exactly why so many businesses end up paying fines not because they were careless, but because VAT compliance simply fell through the cracks of a busy quarter. A missed deadline during a product launch, a staffing change, or a slow month can cost you far more in penalties than it would have cost to have it handled properly from the start.

Working with a dedicated VAT specialist means none of that falls on you. We track your deadlines, monitor regulatory changes on your behalf, and make sure your filings are accurate before they’re ever submitted — so VAT becomes one less thing you have to think about.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services

Q1. Who needs to register for VAT?
Businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 per year must register for VAT. Voluntary registration is available for businesses with supplies between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000.
The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, applied to most goods and services. Certain sectors, such as healthcare, education, and specific financial services, may qualify for zero-rated or exempt status.

Most businesses file VAT returns quarterly, though the Federal Tax Authority may assign monthly filing to larger businesses based on annual turnover. We’ll confirm your exact filing frequency once you’re registered

Late filing carries a penalty of AED 1,000 for the first occurrence, rising to AED 2,000 for repeated late filings within 24 months, along with additional daily penalties on any unpaid tax.
Yes. Businesses that pay more VAT on purchases than they collect on sales can apply for a refund from the FTA. We handle the full documentation and submission process for refund claims.
UAE law requires businesses to retain VAT invoices, tax records, and supporting documents for at least 5 years, as the FTA can request them during an audit at any time within that period.
It depends on the type of free zone and the nature of your business activity. Some “Designated Zones” have special VAT treatment, while most free zone companies follow standard UAE VAT rules. We’ll confirm your specific obligation.
Failing to register within the required timeframe results in a late registration penalty of AED 10,000, in addition to any VAT owed for the period you should have been registered.
Yes. If your taxable supplies fall below the mandatory threshold for 12 consecutive months, you can apply for VAT deregistration, though certain conditions and timelines apply.
We handle the entire VAT process for you — registration, return preparation, filing, and compliance checks — so you don’t need a separate in-house accountant just to stay VAT-compliant.
