VAT Overview Illustration

What is Value Added Tax (VAT)?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax that is applied to the value added to goods and services at each stage of production or distribution. Introduced in the UAE on January 1, 2018, at a standard rate of 5%, VAT is applicable to most goods and services, with certain exemptions and zero-rated supplies. Our VAT services ensure that your business is compliant with all relevant regulations and that you understand the implications of VAT on your operations.


By working with us, you can navigate the complexities of VAT in the UAE with confidence, ensuring that your business meets all legal requirements.

Why is VAT Compliance Important?

VAT compliance is essential for businesses operating in the UAE. Non-compliance can lead to significant penalties, including fines for late registration, filing, and payment, as well as for inaccuracies in VAT returns. Ensuring compliance not only helps you avoid these penalties but also ensures that your business operates smoothly within the legal framework established by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).


We provide comprehensive VAT compliance services, including registration, filing, and ongoing advisory support, so you can focus on growing your business while we handle the complexities of VAT.
