DOES A TAX GROUP SUIT YOU?
Related companies can file one VAT return instead of several.
If your companies are related and controlled together, grouping can remove VAT on intercompany charges and cut your filings to one return. It also makes every member jointly liable, so it needs to be the right fit.
Need help deciding first? See our VAT advisory service.
What is your situation?
Lots of trading between your companies.
If your entities charge each other management fees, rent or services, grouping can remove VAT on those charges and simplify your cash flow.

Questions
VAT tax group FAQs
What is a VAT tax group in the UAE?
A VAT tax group lets two or more related UAE businesses register together under one Tax Registration Number. The group files one VAT return, and supplies between members are generally disregarded for VAT.
Who can form a VAT tax group?
Legal persons with a place of establishment or fixed establishment in the UAE that are related parties, where one or more persons control the others through ownership, voting rights or market value. We check each entity against the FTA conditions before applying.
What are the benefits of VAT grouping?
One VAT return instead of several, no VAT charged on supplies between group members, simpler compliance and better cash flow where entities trade heavily with each other.
What are the risks of a VAT tax group?
All members are jointly and severally liable for the group’s VAT. The representative member files on behalf of everyone, so records and processes across all entities need to be reliable.
Can we add or remove a company from our tax group?
Yes. Members can be added, removed, or the group amended or disbanded through EmaraTax. We assess the VAT impact of each change and handle the application.
Do you register VAT tax groups in Dubai and other emirates?
Yes. We handle tax group registration for related companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other emirates, in person at our Bur Dubai office or remotely.
How much does VAT tax group registration cost?
The fee depends on the number of entities and whether any are already VAT-registered. We quote one fixed fee in writing after a short call, before any work starts.
