DO YOU NEED TO REGISTER?
Do you need VAT registration? Check in 20 seconds.
Registration is mandatory once your taxable supplies and imports pass AED 375,000 over the last 12 months, or are expected to in the next 30 days. You can register voluntarily from AED 187,500. The application is due within 30 days.

Your taxable sales and imports in the last 12 months:
MANDATORY
You must register within 30 days.
The 30 days run from the end of the month you crossed AED 375,000. Registering late means a fixed AED 10,000 penalty plus VAT on sales made since the date you should have registered.
Register me nowMANDATORY โ LOOK-FORWARD
You must register before you invoice.
If you expect to pass AED 375,000 in the next 30 days alone, the obligation applies now โ even if your past sales are well below it.
Register me before I invoiceVOLUNTARY
You can choose to register.
Registering lets you recover input VAT on your costs. Whether it pays depends on who your customers are โ we compare both before you decide.
Help me decideNOT YET
No registration needed yet.
You may still qualify voluntarily if your taxable expenses exceed AED 187,500. We can set up monthly threshold tracking so you register on the right day.

Questions
VAT registration FAQs
Do you handle VAT registration in Dubai and other emirates?
Yes. We register mainland and free zone businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman and every other emirate. VAT registration is filed online on EmaraTax, so your location does not change the process or the timeline.
Can Fintra Global register my business for VAT?
Yes. We assess whether and when you must register, prepare your documents, submit the application on EmaraTax and answer FTA queries until your TRN is issued.
How long does VAT registration take?
We usually submit within a few working days of receiving complete documents. The FTA typically processes a complete application in around 20 business days, longer if it asks for clarification.
I have already missed the 30-day deadline. Can you still help?
Yes. We work out the date you should have registered and your backdated VAT exposure first, then submit the application and advise on putting the past period right.
Should my startup register voluntarily?
It can make sense if your taxable expenses exceed AED 187,500 and your customers are VAT-registered businesses. We compare the input VAT you could recover against the extra compliance before you decide.
Do you also register free zone and non-resident businesses?
Yes. Free zone companies follow the same thresholds, and non-resident businesses may need to register from their first taxable supply in the UAE. We confirm your position before applying.
What happens after my TRN is issued?
You must charge VAT from your effective date, issue compliant tax invoices and file returns within 28 days of each tax period. We can take over your returns so nothing is missed.
Still have questions?
