Overview

VAT Registration in the UAE โ€” Expert Guidance from Start to Finish. VAT registration in the UAE is mandatory for businesses with taxable supplies and imports exceeding AED 375,000 per year. Voluntary registration is available for businesses exceeding AED 187,500. Al Aegis Corporate Services guides you through the entire VAT registration process in Dubai and across the UAE. Our expert VAT consultants begin by assessing your business turnover and transaction types to determine whether you fall under mandatory or voluntary registration. We then prepare all necessary documentation โ€” including trade license copies, Emirates ID, passport copies, bank statements, and financial records โ€” and submit your application through the FTA e-Services portal. We handle the complete process from eligibility assessment to TRN (Tax Registration Number) acquisition, including group registration for multi-entity businesses. Our team also assists with VAT deregistration when your business no longer meets the threshold or ceases operations. Non-registration or late registration can result in penalties of AED 10,000 or more. With Al Aegis, you avoid these costly penalties and ensure a smooth, timely registration process with the Federal Tax Authority.
