Value Added Tax (VAT) is charged on the purchase/sale of taxable goods and services in UAE. The current standard rate of VAT in the country is five percent. A VAT-registered business collects VAT on behalf of UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA), and in doing so, it is entitled to claim VAT paid on expenses incurred on products/services for the business.
VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect tax initially with a very nominal rate i.e. 5%, applicable for most of the goods and businesses.
Though UAE government has exempted food items, education and healthcare services from VAT but people can notice a little rise in their cost of living.
However, it needs to be considered that VAT will not strain the wallets much but allows the high living standards not only to remain high but improving.
To comply with VAT and related legal requirements businesses need to make changes in their existing processes.
To register for VAT in the UAE, the following documents are required:
✔️ Trade License
✔️ Passport & Emirates ID of the owner/partners
✔️ Proof of Business Address (Ejari or utility bill)
✔️ Memorandum of Association (MOA)
✔️ Bank Account Details (IBAN)
✔️ Income Statement for the last 12 months
✔️ Customs Registration (if applicable)
✔️ Details of Business Activities
✔️ Valid Contact Information (Email & Mobile)
Ensure all documents are valid for smooth registration.
