Does your business need to register for VAT in the UAE?
Mandatory registration: taxable supplies and imports above AED 375,000 in the last 12 months, or expected above that in the next 30 days.
Voluntary registration: allowed from AED 187,500.
Deadline: apply within 30 days of crossing the threshold. Late registration can attract an AED 10,000 penalty.
Not sure where you stand? A short review of your last 12 months of sales is usually enough to tell.
