What's included

VAT compliance, built into your monthly books

VAT done as a by-product of clean monthly accounting — not a quarterly panic.

1

Threshold Assessment

We track your rolling 12-month taxable supplies and tell you exactly when registration becomes mandatory — or worthwhile voluntarily.

2

Registration Support

TRN application guidance, document preparation and follow-up until your Tax Registration Number is issued.

3

5% VAT Workings

Output VAT, input VAT and reverse-charge workings prepared monthly from your reconciled books.

4

Quarterly Reconciliation

VAT control account reconciled every quarter, so filings tie exactly to your general ledger.

5

TRN-Ready Records

Tax invoices, credit notes and import documents organised per FTA format — ready for any review.

6

Designated & Free-Zone Rules

Correct treatment of designated-zone movements and free-zone supplies, reviewed against your transaction types.

We prepare VAT workings and compliance-ready records. For regulated representation before the FTA we work with registered UAE tax partners.

The part most businesses get wrong

It's not the 5%. It's the records.

VAT penalties rarely come from the rate — they come from late registration, missing tax invoices and workings that don't tie to the books. That's why our VAT support sits on top of monthly reconciled bookkeeping:

  • Never miss the threshold — rolling 12-month tracking with an alert before AED 375,000.
  • Voluntary registration done right — we model whether reclaiming input VAT beats the compliance cost for you.
  • Audit-ready files — every quarter's workings traceable back to source documents.
  • One team, both taxes — your corporate-tax position is prepared from the same clean books.

VAT FAQs

Questions about VAT in the UAE

What is the VAT registration threshold in the UAE?

VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months — or are expected to in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500.

Should I register for VAT voluntarily?

If your taxable supplies sit between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000, voluntary registration lets you reclaim input VAT — often worthwhile for B2B businesses with VAT-bearing costs. We model the trade-off for you before you register.

What VAT records must a UAE business keep?

Tax invoices, credit notes, import/export documents, VAT workings and filed returns — kept for 5 years and producible on FTA request. We organise and maintain these as part of your monthly books.

Do free zone companies need VAT registration?

Free zone companies follow the same AED 375,000 threshold. Designated-zone rules can change how specific supplies are treated, so we review your transaction types before advising.

What happens if I register for VAT late?

Late VAT registration attracts FTA penalties, and you may owe VAT on supplies made while unregistered. If you think you've crossed the threshold, get a review quickly — voluntary disclosure costs far less than an audit finding. Talk to us.
