Since January 1, 2018, Value Added Tax or VAT has been implemented in the UAE. Only registered companies and traders can charge VAT to all their customers at the prevailing rate and incur VAT on goods/services that they buy from suppliers.

All VAT-registered businesses can charge VAT on taxable goods or services they give to their customers. They can also reclaim any VAT on business-related goods or services that they have paid. Companies which are VAT registered must keep their records on all of their transactions for government checking purposes.

It is the responsibility of the VAT registered companies to report, on a regular basis, the amount of VAT that has been charged to the customers and the amount of VAT that has been paid to the government.

Reporting will be done online.

Companies that charged more VAT than they have paid, the difference must be paid to the government.

Companies that paid more VAT than they have charged to the government, the difference can be reclaimed.

All businesses in the UAE that meet the VAT threshold are required to register for VAT in the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). There are two types of VAT registration in which a company or an individual may fall on the VAT threshold:

1. Mandatory registration is for companies residing in the UAE that have a collective value of supplies or turnover that exceed AED 375,000 for the past 12 months and/or expecting to exceed this amount in the next 30 days. Additionally, non-residents are required to register for VAT, regardless of the threshold limit.

2. Voluntary Registration is a voluntary basis for any resident business in the UAE that does not fulfill the threshold for mandatory registration, but their annual taxable supply value is AED 187,500 (50% of the mandatory registration threshold) or more.

The FTA is issuing the VAT certificate to all the companies that have been successfully registered in the authority. The certificate is valid for one year from the date mentioned by the company.

VAT Return Filing Period

The standard period to file for the VAT return is every quarter, but there are certain types of businesses that the FTA may require to file the VAT return every month in order to reduce the risk of tax evasion and improve the monitoring of compliance by the businesses.

Filing VAT Returns

Companies are required to submit a VAT return every VAT period. The VAT return must contain details regarding the sales and expenses of the company.

Companies in the UAE that make only zero-rated supplies or do not fall in the mandatory registration threshold of AED 375,000 are not required to register for VAT or have a Tax Registration Number.
