Ensuring VAT Compliance: An Overview of VAT Services in Dubai, UAE

Value Added Tax (VAT) has been a well-established part of the UAE’s tax landscape since its introduction in 2018. For businesses operating in Dubai, navigating the intricacies of VAT compliance can be a demanding task. Highmark offers a comprehensive range of VAT Services in Dubai, UAE, designed to streamline VAT management and ensure your business remains compliant.

Understanding VAT in Dubai

VAT is an indirect tax levied on the consumption of most goods and services within the UAE. The standard VAT rate in Dubai is 5%, applied to the difference between the selling price and the purchase price of taxable goods and services. Businesses registered for VAT typically collect VAT from customers and remit it to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) on a periodic basis.

Who Needs to Register for VAT in Dubai?

The obligation to register for VAT in Dubai applies to businesses exceeding a specific taxable supply threshold within the past 12 months. The current threshold is AED 375,000 (approximately USD 102,000). However, businesses with lower taxable supplies can choose to register for VAT voluntarily.

Benefits of VAT Registration in Dubai

While VAT registration introduces additional responsibilities, it also offers some potential benefits, such as:

• Claiming Input Tax Credits: VAT-registered businesses can claim back VAT paid on their business purchases (input tax) against the VAT they collect from customers (output tax). This can lead to a VAT refund or a reduced net VAT liability.
• Enhanced Credibility: VAT registration can project a more established and credible image, particularly for businesses engaging in international trade.

Key Considerations for VAT Compliance in Dubai

Several aspects are crucial for maintaining VAT compliance in Dubai:

• Accurate Record-Keeping: Maintaining comprehensive records of all your purchases and sales with VAT details is essential for calculating your VAT liability.
• Timely VAT Return Filing: VAT returns must be submitted electronically to the FTA within 28 days of the end of your tax period.
• VAT Invoice Requirements: Businesses must issue proper VAT invoices to customers for all taxable supplies, including details like the VAT amount charged.
