VAT Registration

UAE-resident businesses who make taxable supplies in the UAE must mandatorily register for VAT. Before filing the VAT return form on the portal, make sure you have met all tax returns requirements. If you are an individual, you are required to register when the VAT law is in force if you are making or expect to make supplies of goods or services in the UAE and there is no other person who is required to account for the VAT due in the UAE on your behalf.
