Dubai VAT Registration

[AbsetJW]

Have you registered for VAT in Dubai?

Apparently, if you're over 375k AED, you must register for VAT. Even if you're exempt from paying it, you still need to register.

If not, 10k AED fine.

Curious what you all have done.

That’s correct.

Register for VAT and for CT.

Didn’t do both.

Let us know if‌ you know more.

What is the applicable VAT rate?

 

[AbsetJW]

Anyone else?

5%

But if you have a freezone, you‌ don't need to pay taxes for Vat.
You only pay 9% for CT.
I also‍ heard that you have to register for both Vat + CT even if if you⁠ don't pay for Vat
Can anyone confirm this

 

[blancmon229]

Yes, I heard the same thing.
It is relatively easy⁤ to register for VAT on the UAE website anyways just in case.

 

[AbsetJW]

Have you already‍ registered for it? Did you need to pay a fine?

 

[blancmon229]

Yes, I registered. It's free. Just need to make an account with the tax authority,‌ press register for VAT and Corporate Tax and upload trade license.

What to do after this? Is it necessary‍ to declare 0.- VAT monthly?

 

[hanoib]

I have the same question. What to do after registering?

 

[uranium]

AFAIK Register for Vat now because cit Registration is not yet opened

You declare 0% VAT if you didn't have made VAT sales! it's not that difficult.‌
