Our Value Added Tax (VAT)/ Excise Tax services include:

1. VAT Registration and Deregistration Sservices

VAT Registration is mandatory for companies and individuals doing businesses in the UAE, having an annual turnover of more than AED 375,000/-. All companies/individuals coming under the above threshold limit (subject to the provisions of the relevant law) have to register for VAT.

Registration for VAT in the UAE is an online process that is accessible in the Federal Tax Authority’s online portal. Before proceeding with VAT registration, the applicant should consider various aspects such as whether to register as a voluntary option or mandatory option, whether to register as a Tax Group or a Standalone, etc.

Following are the scenarios when a VAT Registered person should go for De-Registration.
1. If he stops making Taxable Supplies.
2. If the value of the Taxable Supplies made over a period of (12) consecutive months is less than the Voluntary Registration Threshold ie, AED 187,500/ and he does not anticipate that they’ll cross the Voluntary registration threshold during the coming 30-days.

Our team of professional experts ensures that you do not face any difficulty in registering or deregistering your business for VAT.
