The Complete Guide to VAT Registration in the UAE

Businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 in the past 12 months (or expected in the next 30 days) must register for VAT in the UAE. Voluntary registration is available above AED 187,500. Prepare your trade licence, Emirates ID of the manager, MOA, bank details and income proof before submitting to the FTA EmaraTax portal. Once registered you receive a TRN (Tax Registration Number) that must appear on every tax invoice — GulfAccount adds it automatically along with the QR code required by upcoming e-invoicing rules.
