Do I need to register for VAT?

Yes, VAT registration is mandatory when your annual taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000. Voluntary registration is available for businesses with taxable supplies above AED 187,500. Registration happens through the FTA EmaraTax portal. The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, and returns must be filed by the 28th day after each tax period. Late VAT filing carries a penalty of AED 1,000 for the first offense and AED 2,000 for repeat cases within 24 months. Our team handles complete VAT and corporate tax registration for mainland and free zone businesses across all 7 emirates.

What is corporate tax in the UAE?

UAE corporate tax applies at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000 under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. Income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%. Every company registered in the UAE must file a corporate tax return within 9 months after the end of its financial year through the EmaraTax portal. Small businesses with revenue under AED 3 million may qualify for Small Business Relief, valid until December 31, 2026. Late corporate tax registration carries a penalty of AED 10,000. Qualifying free zone entities may receive 0% on qualifying income if they meet FTA substance requirements.

Can you handle bookkeeping for small businesses?

Yes, we provide full bookkeeping services for startups, small businesses, and SMEs across Dubai and all UAE emirates.
