VAT Registration
Know whether you must register—and from what date.
The threshold alone does not complete the analysis. The taxable-supply calculation, look-back or forward test, effective date, legal-person details and supporting documents must agree before the application is submitted.
Mandatory thresholdAED 375,000For a UAE-resident business, based on taxable supplies and imports under the applicable test.
Voluntary thresholdAED 187,500Based on the applicable taxable supplies, imports or taxable-expense criteria.
Not sure which service fits?
Choose by the type of support you need.
The five VAT services are independent, not steps that every business must follow.
Help throughout the year
Use VAT Returns & Management when your finance team needs filing plus continuing technical and compliance support.
Review or response support
Use a Health Check to find issues proactively, or Audit Assistance after an FTA request or notice arrives.
What sits behind the return
VAT compliance is more than entering figures into EmaraTax.
The quality of a VAT position depends on the transaction treatment, supporting evidence and reconciliation behind the submitted numbers.
Transaction treatment
Standard-rated, zero-rated, exempt and out-of-scope positions; reverse-charge matters; imports; exports; and other agreed transaction categories.
Evidence and invoices
Tax invoices, credit notes, customs records, contracts and other documents needed to support output-tax and input-tax positions.
Reconciliation
VAT returns aligned to sales, purchases, ledgers, VAT control accounts and agreed adjustment schedules.
Controls and deadlines
Clear responsibilities, review points, issue tracking and a compliance calendar that does not depend on last-minute filing.
Before you choose
Common questions about our VAT services.
The correct treatment depends on the transaction facts and supporting documents. These answers clarify which mkACE service is likely to fit.
Is the AED 500 VAT Registration fee fixed?
It is the mkACE professional fee for a standard registration assignment. Late-registration analysis, record reconstruction, complex groups, multiple applications and dispute work require a separately agreed scope.
Is Return Filing the same as VAT Management?
No. Return Filing covers one tax period and submission. VAT Management provides continuing help with transaction treatment, invoices, records, technical queries and compliance actions during the year.
What should be ready before a VAT return is prepared?
The business should have complete sales and purchase data, VAT ledgers or control accounts, import and customs information, adjustment details and supporting records for material or unusual transactions.
When is a UAE VAT return generally due?
The return and related payment are generally due within 28 days after the end of the tax period. The exact tax period and deadline shown in the registrant's EmaraTax account should be followed.
Can mkACE help after an FTA request has arrived?
Yes. VAT Audit Assistance begins with the notice, deadline and requested information, then helps organise the relevant data, reconciliations, evidence and response. Disputes and reconsideration work are scoped separately.
