What is UAE VAT?

VAT in the UAE is a consumption tax applied to most goods and services supplied by businesses. The standard VAT rate is 5%, while certain supplies may be zero-rated or exempt under UAE VAT rules.

For businesses, VAT is more than simply adding 5% to an invoice. The correct VAT treatment can depend on the type of supply, customer, transaction and supporting records. Getting these details right helps businesses avoid incorrect returns and unnecessary compliance issues.

At Arth Consultants, we help businesses understand how UAE VAT applies to their day-to-day transactions and provide practical support with registration, VAT returns, reviews and ongoing compliance.

Who Needs to Register for VAT?

Businesses generally need to register for UAE VAT when their taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months or are expected to exceed this amount in the next 30 days. Voluntary VAT registration is available when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 187,500, subject to the applicable UAE VAT rules.

VAT registration gives an eligible business a Tax Registration Number (TRN) and allows it to meet its VAT obligations. We assist with the registration process, required information and documentation, helping businesses complete the process correctly.

VAT-registered businesses must submit VAT returns and pay any VAT due within the required deadlines. We help review sales, purchases, input VAT and output VAT before the return is prepared, reducing the risk of reporting errors.
