Tax in the UAE: Everything you need to know about VAT and a little bit more.


REGISTRATION CRITIREA

A business must register for VAT if their taxable supplies and imports exceed the mandatory registration threshold of AED 375,000. Furthermore, a business may choose to register for VAT voluntarily if their supplies and imports are less than the mandatory registration threshold, but exceed the voluntary registration threshold of AED 187,500. Similarly, a business may register voluntarily if their expenses exceed the voluntary registration threshold. This latter opportunity to register voluntarily is designed to enable start-up businesses with no turnover to register for VAT.

VAT RETURN FILING PERIOD

The standard Vat return period is quarterly. However, the UAE FTA may consider monthly return periods for certain specific businesses to increase tax compliance and curb tax evasion by false means.

  1. As mentioned earlier, entrepreneurs prefer to establish their business setup in UAE due to the tax incentives given to them. However, another major reason is the wonderful infrastructure in the city. In fact, even if the business setup in Dubai needs huge investments, the city’s transport system, including rail and road network, is one of the best in the world. This means that businessmen can easily set up their companies in Dubai without worrying too much about transport infrastructure and so on.
