OVERVIEW

The quiet default for your VAT obligations.

Whether you are crossing the AED 375,000 threshold or planning ahead with voluntary registration, we handle the FTA portal, TRN issuance, group structuring, and the quarterly returns that follow. Your working papers reconcile to your books — every time.

  • Right registration, right timing

    Mandatory, voluntary, and group registrations assessed against your expected turnover and supplier chain.

  • TRN and tax-group setup

    Master TRN issuance and multi-entity group consolidations where they reduce blocked VAT.

  • Quarterly filing

    Returns filed on or before the 28th of the month following each tax period, with full working papers.

  • Audit defence

    Schedules and support for any FTA query, including voluntary disclosure forms.

Common questions.

  • When is VAT registration mandatory?

    Your taxable supplies plus imports must exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, or you expect them to do so in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available above AED 187,500.

  • Can Free Zone companies register for VAT?

    Yes. Being in a free zone — even a Designated Zone — does not exempt you. Designated Zones do change the VAT treatment of goods transferred between them.

  • What are the penalties for late filing?

    AED 1,000 for the first late return and AED 2,000 for each subsequent within 24 months, plus percentage penalties on underpaid tax.
