FAQ

Questions,
answered.

When your taxable supplies and imports in the previous 12 months exceeded AED 375,000, or are expected to exceed it in the next 30 days. You may register voluntarily from AED 187,500.

Within 28 days after the end of each tax period, which is usually quarterly. Payment of any VAT due has the same deadline.

Depending on the amount, the correction is made in the next return or through a voluntary disclosure. Correcting it yourself before the FTA finds it generally means lower penalties. We assess which route applies.
