Our dedicated team is here to guide Pakistani businesses through the intricacies of the tax registration process, ensuring compliance and maximizing your potential for growth in this thriving market.

Understanding VAT and Corporate Tax in the UAE

The United Arab Emirates has implemented a Value Added Tax (VAT) system and a corporate tax to align with international standards and enhance its economic landscape. Understanding these tax structures is crucial for businesses operating in the UAE, and Auctus Advisors is here to simplify this process for you.

What is VAT?

VAT is a consumption tax levied on the sale of goods and services. In the UAE, VAT is set at a standard rate of 5%. This means that businesses must charge VAT on taxable supplies and remit this tax to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

What is Corporate Tax?

Starting from June 1, 2023, the UAE introduced a corporate tax on business profits exceeding AED 375,000, with a standard rate of 9%. This initiative aims to diversify the economy and ensure a fair taxation system for all businesses.

 

Why VAT and Corporate Tax Registration is Important

Proper registration for VAT and corporate tax is essential for any business operating in the UAE. Here’s why:

Legal Compliance

Ensures that your business adheres to local regulations and avoids penalties.

Credibility

Registered businesses are viewed as more credible and trustworthy by clients and partners.

Input Tax Credit

VAT-registered businesses can reclaim the VAT they pay on business-related expenses, improving cash flow.

Tax Planning

Understanding your tax obligations enables better financial planning and budgeting.

VAT Tax Registration Process
