VAT Compliance Requirements

VAT compliance uae requirements differ from one country to another. For businesses based in UAE, there are two types of VAT registrations:

Mandatory VAT Registration

The FTA requires UAE businesses with taxable supplies/annual turnover exceeding AED 375,000 to register for VAT. In that case, you want to register within 30 days. Any delays would result in a penalty.

Voluntary VAT Registration

VAT registrations aren’t exclusive to business to make the previously mentioned annual turnover. If your business’s turnover/expenditure is between AED 187,500-375,000, you can voluntarily register for VAT.

VAT Registration

VAT registration is the first step for businesses that must take in the compliance process. As simple as it is, we don’t like to rush into that step and prefer to do some preparation first.

We at Alsun Tax Agency start by gathering information about your business, its activities and requirements. Then, we calculate your annual turnover to identify whether you’re eligible for a mandatory or a voluntary registration.

Finally, we help you prepare the necessary documents for the registration process. These may include financial statements, legal entity documents, proof of address, trade license, etc.

That’s when the registration process starts. We go to the FTA’s online portal and fill out the required sections with accurate information.

No matter what type of business you run, we’ll provide you with the best VAT registration service in the UAE.

Return Filing

If you’re a VAT-eligible business, you’ll have to file a VAT return within 28 days of the end of the tax period. A VAT return is a form that includes a business’s income, expenses and the VAT they charged and have to pay.

Needless to say, it’s a delicate process where one small mistake can cause a lot of trouble. That’s why you need to gather all the necessary data and fill the form as accurately as possible.

With qualified tax experts, we’ll ensure that every step of that process is done with nothing but 100% accuracy. We’re fast, affordable, and reliable. So, all you have to do is sit back and watch us do what we do best.

Tax Audit

A tax audit is the heart and soul of the VAT compliance process. It’s where we examine your business’s finances/financial records to ensure that the data you have provided is accurate.

A straightforward audit will show that the business is compliant to FTA laws. However, if an audit shows any inaccuracies, it may result in a penalty, depending on the findings.

Don’t worry. We won’t let it come to that. We do a tax audit for one year to ensure that all your transactions are documented accurately and avoid paying additional taxes.

FTA Profile Amendment

Did you know that you could edit your business’s registration details through the FTA’s online portal? If your business experiences any changes that affect the tax records you provide during registration, you need to add these changes to your records within 20 days.

If you fail to do so, you’ll pay a AED 5000 fine for the first delay and AED 15000 for any future delays. That’s why we do it for you, taking complete responsibility for updating your profile swiftly and accurately.

Comprehensive Bookkeeping

Bookkeeping is an essential administrative step that involves recording all your business transactions, including your purchases, sales, payments, etc.

The purpose of this step is to paint an accurate picture of your business’s financial status, which, in turn, helps you make informed business decisions in the future.
