VAT was introduced in the UAE on 1 January 2018 as a tax on consumption. Businesses whose taxable annual turnover exceeds AED 375,000 must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), while smaller businesses can choose to register voluntarily once they pass the lower threshold. Registration requires accurate details about your turnover, expenses and business activity. After registering, you must charge VAT on taxable supplies, pay the amount collected to the FTA, and file VAT returns on time. Late registration, late filing or incorrect returns can lead to penalties, so it is important to get the process right from the start.
At Expert Solution, our VAT and accounting team manages your registration, bookkeeping and return filing, and keeps your records and supporting documents organised for any FTA review. We also make sure you claim the input VAT you are entitled to on business purchases, so it is offset against the VAT you collect on sales. With accurate books and timely filings, you stay compliant, avoid unnecessary fines and always know where your business stands.
