VAT Registration in Dubai
Our company provides expert services for both registering and deregistering VAT in the UAE, ensuring that businesses adhere to the rules set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). VAT registration is crucial for businesses in the UAE to sidestep penalties and uphold FTA regulations. We make the UAE VAT registration process easy and efficient as part of our comprehensive VAT Registration Services. As leading consultants in Indirect Tax within the UAE region, we specialize in FTA VAT Registration.
For businesses in the UAE, FTA VAT Registration becomes obligatory if their turnover surpassed AED 375,000 within the last 12 months or is projected to exceed that in the upcoming 30 days. Moreover, voluntary registration is also open for businesses with a turnover or expenses that fall under VAT and go beyond AED 187,500.
Non-residents engaging in taxable transactions within the UAE must also undergo VAT registration, unless another UAE VAT-registered individual is accountable for VAT under the Reverse Charge Mechanism. In the case of non-residents, the threshold does not apply.
VAT De-registration
On the other hand, VAT De-registration is equally important for VAT compliance in the UAE, as it allows businesses to cancel their VAT registration and suspend their Tax Registration Number (TRN) when they are no longer required to pay VAT. The purpose of VAT De-registration is to prevent businesses from incurring unnecessary costs or penalties and to ensure that accurate records are maintained by the FTA. Failure to register for VAT or apply for de-registration within the specified time frame can result in penalties.
At Centriz Corporate Services, we make the VAT Registration and De-registration process hassle-free for our clients.

VAT Registration Guidelines for Businesses
If you're operating a business in Dubai, UAE, it's important to understand the specific criteria that determine whether VAT registration is required. These criteria are based on your business's annual revenue. To simplify the decision-making process, there are three key income brackets to consider.
- If your business provides taxable goods or services and earns over AED 375,000 annually, VAT registration is mandatory.
- For businesses with an annual income between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000, offering taxable goods or services, VAT registration becomes a choice. This falls under voluntary registration.
- Businesses that offer taxable commodities or services and make less than AED 187,500 in annual income are not obligated to register for VAT.
Understanding these criteria helps you determine whether your business should be registered for VAT, ensuring compliance with the regulations in Dubai, UAE.
