VAT Services


UAE has implemented VAT with effect from 1st January 2018. OECD countries except for the US have VAT (or a variation). While it feels exactly the same as a general sales tax to end-consumers, VAT is a more sophisticated tax and overcomes many challenges that affect the general sales tax.

A business shall register for VAT if the taxable supplies and imports exceed the manadatory registration threshold of AED 375,000 or the voluntary registration threshold of AED 187,500. All businesses coming under the threshold limit or anticipating to exceed the limit in the next 30 days (subject to the provisions of the relevant law) have to register for VAT.

Certain free zones have been specified as designated zones for VAT purposes. While special rules apply to supplies made in the designated zones, the businesses established in such zones may still need to register for VAT provided the criteria for registration is met.

TAX GROUP

Related businesses that share economic, financial and regulatory ties (either in law, shareholding or voting rights) may be able to register as a tax group,
if they have an establishment in the UAE and arelegal persons under common control. The representative member will file a consolidated VAT return covering the activities of the group.

FILING VAT RETURNS AND MAKING PAYMENTS

Once you have registered for VAT, you will have to charge VAT (output tax) on the supplies that you make, unless they are exempt or zero-rated. VAT return must be filed and related VAT payments made within 28 days from the end of your tax period. You will normally be allocated a quarterly or monthly tax period according to your annual turnover, but the FTA may allow a shorter or longer tax period if it considers that to be appropriate.

VAT de-registration

A VAT Registered person should go for De-Registration if he stops making Taxable Supplies or if the value of the Taxable Supplies made over a period of (12) consecutive months is less than the Voluntary Registration Threshold i.e, AED 187,500/ and he does not anticipate that they’ll cross the Voluntary registration threshold during the coming 30-days.
