VAT REGISTRATION

When it comes to VAT registration in the UAE, businesses encounter two primary categories to consider, each based on their annual turnover:

Mandatory VAT Registration:

Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding Dh 375,000 are obligated to apply for VAT registration. This entails obtaining a Tax Registration Number (TRN) from the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and implementing VAT procedures, including collecting VAT on behalf of the FTA.

Voluntary VAT Registration:

Companies or individuals with an annual turnover between Dh 187,500 and Dh 375,000 have the option to voluntarily register for VAT. The decision lies entirely with the company, with no adverse consequences either way. The process involves applying for a TRN through specific procedures outlined by the FTA.

Factors to Consider

Before initiating the VAT registration process, businesses should carefully weigh various factors. This includes deciding whether mandatory or voluntary registration is appropriate, as well as considering whether to apply for single registration or registration within a tax group.

New Company VAT Registration

For newly established companies, VAT registration is not mandatory unless the anticipated turnover exceeds Dh 187,500. Below this threshold, VAT registration is unnecessary, as applications would be rejected by the FTA.

VAT Registration for International Companies

International companies selling goods within the UAE are required to register for VAT, regardless of turnover levels from such transactions. This requirement extends to companies selling through online platforms like Amazon.

VAT Registration for Amazon Sellers

In line with FTA regulations, Amazon sellers operating in the UAE must register for VAT before commencing sales. This applies to all businesses transitioning to digital platforms for commerce, with a standard VAT rate of 5% applicable to online sales.
