Common Questions

VAT & bookkeeping questions,answeredclearly.

Straightforward answers to how VAT registration, filing, and record-keeping work for UAE companies.

What should VAT-registered companies do?

Charge, reclaim, and record — the three core VAT duties.

Registered companies must charge VAT on taxable goods or services, and may reclaim VAT paid on business-related purchases. They must also keep records that allow the government to verify their filings. On a regular basis, the business reports the VAT it has charged against the VAT it has paid — if the charged amount is higher, the difference is paid to the government; if the paid amount is higher, the difference can be reclaimed.

What does a business need to do to prepare for VAT?

Align bookkeeping, finance, HR, and technology with VAT rules.

Businesses need to adjust bookkeeping, financial management, HR, and technology processes to comply fully with VAT. It's important to understand the implications early and align your business model with government reporting requirements — the responsibility to comply ultimately sits with the company.

When should businesses register for VAT?

Roughly three months before your VAT obligations begin.

Businesses that meet the registration threshold are expected to register roughly three months before VAT obligations begin for them, and can complete registration online through the eServices portal.

How often are registered businesses required to file VAT returns?

Typically every three months, filed online.

VAT returns are typically filed every three months for most businesses, submitted online through eServices.

What records are businesses required to maintain, and for how long?

Records that let authorities verify your transactions.

Businesses must maintain records that let the authorities verify business activity and review transactions accurately. The exact documents required and retention periods are set by the tax authorities.
