VAT Consultancy and Filing
VAT registration, return filing, refunds and audit support for both mainland and free zone companies.
03 / 8
VAT registration becomes mandatory once annual taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000, and is available voluntarily above AED 187,500. Most businesses then file quarterly, though larger entities may be required to file monthly.
We take on registration and the ongoing filing cycle, prepare refund claims for recoverable input VAT, and support businesses through VAT audits and adjustments. Free zone and mainland obligations differ, and we set out which applies to you before the first return is due.
What we cover
- Register businesses for VAT and handle return filings.
- Assist with VAT audits, refunds, and tax adjustments.
- Guide free zone and mainland companies on VAT obligations.

Common questions
Registration is mandatory once taxable supplies exceed the threshold set by the FTA, and voluntary registration is available at a lower threshold. The position is assessed on both historic and expected turnover.
Incorrect tax codes, missing tax invoices, claiming input VAT without valid documentation, and timing errors on the date of supply are the issues we correct most often.
Yes. VAT applies across the UAE including free zones, with specific treatment for designated zones. Free zone status under Corporate Tax does not remove VAT obligations.
