Key takeaways

What Your Business Should Know About VAT

  • 01Check when registration becomes necessaryFor UAE-resident businesses, mandatory registration generally applies when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months, or are expected to exceed it in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration may be available above AED 187,500. Different rules apply to foreign businesses.
  • 02Know your filing and payment deadlineYour VAT return and any related payment are generally due within 28 days after your assigned tax period ends. Check the period and deadline shown in your FTA account.
  • 03Check the figures behind the returnSales, purchases, credit notes and VAT balances should agree with your records. Investigate differences before filing, rather than carrying them into the next period.
  • 04Keep supporting documents organisedKeep invoices, calculations and explanations together so your team can trace each figure in the return and respond to questions about it.

What we deliver

VAT Consultancy Services in Dubai

Whether you need help with your first registration or ongoing returns, our VAT support covers the tasks below.

01

VAT Registration and Deregistration

Unsure whether your business needs to register? We review your taxable sales, imports and expenses, explain the applicable requirements and support your FTA application. If you are closing the business or considering deregistration, we check eligibility and help prepare the required documents. We also support VAT tax group applications where appropriate.

02

VAT Return Preparation and Filing

A return starts with the records behind it. We review your sales and purchase information, check adjustments and prepare the figures for submission. Our VAT return filing support helps your team understand the amount reported, resolve missing information and work towards the applicable deadline.

03

Input and Output VAT Reconciliation

Does the VAT in your accounts match the return? We compare VAT charged on sales and paid on purchases with your accounting records and investigate differences. We also review input VAT claims, flag amounts that may not be recoverable and identify missing supporting documents.

04

VAT Treatment Review

Not every transaction should be treated the same way. We review how VAT applies to your supplies, exports, property transactions and charges between related businesses. You receive an explanation of the issues identified and the changes your finance team needs to consider.

05

FTA Audit Support

An FTA enquiry is easier to handle when the records are organised. We help prepare supporting schedules, gather documents and explain figures reported in your returns. Our support also covers clarification requests and reviewing whether an identified error requires a correction or voluntary disclosure.

Questions

VAT Questions Answered

When does my business need to register for VAT?
For a UAE-resident business, review taxable supplies and imports over the previous 12 months and those expected in the next 30 days. Mandatory registration generally applies above AED 375,000. Voluntary registration may be available when eligible supplies, imports or taxable expenses exceed AED 187,500. Tasama can help assess which requirements apply to your business.
What should I prepare before asking Tasama to handle my VAT return?
Start with your sales and purchase records, tax invoices, credit notes and accounting reports for the period. Include import documents and previous returns where relevant. We review the information available and identify any gaps before preparing the return.
Can Tasama work with our existing accountant?
Yes. We can work alongside your accountant or finance team on the VAT tasks you need support with, including return preparation, reconciliations and transaction reviews. The scope is agreed around your existing process.
Can you help if our VAT return does not match our accounts?
Yes. We compare the return with the underlying records to find where the difference comes from. This may involve reviewing invoice dates, credit notes, adjustments or VAT entries. We then explain what needs attention and the appropriate next steps.
Do you provide VAT support outside Dubai?
Yes. Our VAT consultancy services in the UAE cover businesses in Dubai and other emirates. We support registration, return preparation, reconciliations, treatment reviews and FTA audit enquiries.
