VAT Registration

Register for VAT at the right time and in the right structure — and start reclaiming input VAT.

Overview

What this service covers

VAT in the UAE is charged at 5%. Registration with the FTA is mandatory once taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000 over 12 months, and voluntary above AED 187,500. Registering at the right time — and structuring VAT groups or branches correctly — keeps you compliant and lets you reclaim the input VAT you’re entitled to.

We review your turnover and structure, register your business or VAT group with the FTA, and obtain your tax registration number — handling the documentation and the entire portal process for you.

Ideal for: businesses crossing the VAT threshold or planning ahead for it.

FAQs

VAT Registration — frequently asked questions

When is VAT registration mandatory?+
Registration is mandatory once your taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000 over the past 12 months, or is expected to exceed it within the next 30 days.
Can I register for VAT voluntarily?+
Yes. Businesses with taxable turnover or expenses above AED 187,500 can register voluntarily, which is useful for reclaiming input VAT on purchases and expansion.
How long does VAT registration take?+
Straightforward applications through EmaraTax typically take around 5–10 business days, after which you receive a 15-digit Tax Registration Number (TRN).
Are free zone companies exempt from VAT?+
No. Free zone status does not exempt a business from VAT — if your taxable supplies exceed the threshold, you must register.
