Frequently asked questions
Who must register for VAT in the UAE?
Businesses whose taxable supplies and imports exceed the mandatory registration threshold set by the Federal Tax Authority must register; voluntary registration may be available for lower turnovers.
How long does VAT registration take?
Registration timelines vary with completeness of documentation and FTA processing; typical cases complete within days to a few weeks. We track progress and respond to FTA requests to reduce delays.
Can AL SAHRAA handle the entire registration process?
Yes. We can manage document collection, prepare and submit the application, liaise with the FTA, and provide post-registration compliance guidance.
What happens after I receive the VAT registration certificate?
You must start charging VAT on taxable supplies, issue tax invoices, maintain VAT records, and file periodic VAT returns. We can assist with VAT return filing and accounting setup.
Do I need local presence to register for VAT?
VAT registration generally depends on business activities and taxable supplies rather than physical presence, but specific requirements can vary; we assess your circumstances to determine obligations.
