VAT Registration / Deregistration
Proper VAT registration or deregistration protects your business from unnecessary fines, strengthens your compliance standing, and ensures you meet all legal obligations under UAE tax law. With Hallmark International managing the process, you avoid administrative stress, reduce the risk of errors, and maintain a smooth relationship with the FTA. It’s a simple way to stay compliant while keeping your business focused on growth.
When to Register for VAT:
In the UAE, businesses must register for VAT if their taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the past 12 months or are expected to exceed this threshold in the next 30 days. The registration application must be submitted within 30 days from the day the company becomes liable to register.
Voluntary registration is also possible if the company’s turnover exceeds AED 187,500. This is beneficial for startups and small enterprises to reclaim input VAT.
How to Register and Deregister:
VAT registration is done through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) online portal by submitting business details, financial records, and expected turnover.
Deregistration is mandatory if your taxable supplies fall below AED 187,500 in the past 12 months or if you cease business operations. Timely registration and deregistration are critical to avoid fines and ensure compliance.
