VAT Services in the UAE

VAT touches almost every transaction a UAE business makes, and getting it right is a matter of process, not luck. Our VAT services in Dubai cover the full cycle: working out whether and when you need to register, filing accurate returns on time, recovering the VAT you are owed, and keeping you on the right side of the Federal Tax Authority.

VAT was introduced in the UAE in 2018 at a standard rate of 5%. Registration becomes mandatory once your taxable supplies pass AED 375,000 in a twelve month period, and is available voluntarily from AED 187,500, which can suit newer businesses that want to reclaim input VAT early. We handle registration and deregistration, prepare and file your periodic returns through the FTA portal, and support refund claims where you are in a net recoverable position. If you are unsure where you stand, a VAT health check reviews your current filings and flags anything that needs correcting before the FTA does.

VAT is self assessed, which means the responsibility for getting it right sits with your business, and errors carry real cost. Late registration, late returns and incorrect filings all attract penalties, and they tend to compound when they go unnoticed. The most common cause is not complexity, it is accounting that is behind or unreconciled, so the numbers going into the return are wrong before anyone looks at them.

Accurate VAT filing depends on clean books and correct treatment of each supply, standard rated, zero rated, exempt or out of scope. We prepare every return from reconciled data, apply the right treatment, and file on time. You can estimate the VAT on a given amount with our VAT calculator, and because the same records feed your corporate tax position, getting VAT right keeps the rest of your compliance clean too.

Whether you are registering for the first time or want a second pair of eyes on returns you already file, we will make sure your VAT is handled properly and on time. Book a consultation and we will review your VAT position.
