VAT Registration UAE refers to the set of procedures by which a person can register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

Any person, natural or otherwise, can apply for VAT Registration or Excise Tax Registration in the UAE if they satisfy certain conditions. Only such persons who hold a valid TRN or Tax Registration Number as issued by FTA has the right to collect and remit tax in the UAE.

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) through its continuous planning and commitment has ensured that the process of VAT registration is quite minimal. Registration is required for free zone and mainland companies with a turnover of over AED 375,000.

The company should register in the case of the total value of their taxable supplies made within the UAE exceeds the mandatory registration threshold mentioned. Registration is required if the company anticipates making taxable supplies with a value exceeding the mandatory registration threshold in the next 30 days. If the company has an annual turnover of between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000, it’s then voluntarily to register.

Voluntary registration is applicable for companies with a total value of taxable supplies or expenditure in the last 12 months exceeds the voluntary registration threshold.
