Understanding VAT in the UAE
In the UAE, VAT is charged at a standard rate of 5% on most goods and services. Businesses with an annual turnover exceeding AED 375,000 are required to register for VAT, while those earning over AED 187,500 can register voluntarily. Failure to register or file VAT returns correctly can result in heavy fines and penalties imposed by the FTA.
Our consultants at Licence.ae help you determine your VAT liability, ensure accurate registration, and prepare compliant invoices that meet all FTA standards. We also guide you through complex cases like mixed supplies, intra-GCC trade, and exempt sectors such as education and healthcare.
