What Every Business Owner in Dubai Should Know About VAT Compliance Before It's Too Late
VAT in the UAE is straightforward on the surface â 5%, file quarterly, done. But the reality is more complex, and the FTA doesn't go easy on errors.
Where most businesses go wrong:
Misclassifying supplies â exempt vs zero-rated vs standard-rated
Claiming input tax on ineligible expenses
Filing late or inaccurately
Poor record keeping â UAE law requires 5 years minimum
Missing the AED 375,000 registration threshold
The fix? Bring in a proper VAT consultant before problems arise, not after.
