VAT registration with the FTA, handled — no accounting jargon.
Whether your turnover has crossed the mandatory registration threshold or you'd rather register voluntarily, BAEZ prepares and submits your VAT registration application with the Federal Tax Authority and gets your Tax Registration Number (TRN) certificate issued.
- Mandatory and voluntary registration, assessed for your actual turnover
- TRN certificate delivered once your registration is approved
- Fixed quote before we submit — no surprises at collection
Two thresholds decide whether registration applies.
The UAE's Federal Tax Authority requires businesses to register for VAT once their taxable turnover crosses a mandatory threshold. Below that, a lower voluntary threshold lets businesses register by choice — often useful if you want to reclaim VAT on business expenses or your clients expect a TRN on your invoices.
Required once your taxable turnover crosses the FTA's mandatory threshold over the relevant period.
Available once turnover or expenses cross a lower voluntary threshold, even if mandatory registration doesn't yet apply.
Please note: BAEZ handles VAT registration, TRN certificate issuance and registration amendments with the FTA. We are not a registered tax agency — for ongoing VAT return filing, tax advice or accounting services, you'll need a licensed tax agent or accountant, and we're happy to coordinate the registration side alongside them.

Common questions about VAT registration.
What's the VAT registration threshold in the UAE?
There's a mandatory threshold above which registration is required, and a lower voluntary threshold below that. These figures are set by the Federal Tax Authority and can be subject to change, so we'll confirm the current thresholds against your specific turnover when we assess your case.
Do I need to register if my turnover is below the threshold?
Not for mandatory registration, but you may still choose to register voluntarily once you cross the lower voluntary threshold — this can be useful if you want to reclaim VAT on expenses or your clients expect a TRN on invoices. We'll help you weigh whether it makes sense for your business.
Should I register voluntarily even if I don't have to?
It depends on your business — voluntary registration can help with reclaiming VAT on costs, but it also brings ongoing filing obligations. We can walk through the trade-offs for your specific situation before you decide.
Can BAEZ file my VAT returns after I'm registered?
No — BAEZ handles the registration and TRN certificate side. Ongoing VAT return filing and tax advice require a licensed tax agent or accountant, since that involves interpreting your financial records under tax law. We're happy to coordinate the registration paperwork alongside whoever handles your returns.
How long does VAT registration take?
This depends on how complete your documentation is and the FTA's processing time for your application. Once we review your specific case, we'll give you a realistic expectation rather than a generic estimate.
