Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. When should I register for VAT in Dubai?

You must register within 30 days of your taxable turnover exceeding the mandatory threshold of AED 375,000. If you expect to reach this in the next 30 days, you should also apply.

The FTA imposes strict administrative penalties for late filing or late payment, starting from AED 1,000 for the first offense and increasing for subsequent delays.
