Avyanco, Your VAT-Management Partner, Assists You with the entire VAT Registration Process

By registering for VAT, you bring more credibility to your business as you receive a TRN (Tax Registration Number). VAT registration is also mandatory in certain scenarios where non-registration can lead to penalties and other risks associated with non-compliance.

Avyanco has a team of VAT experts with in-depth and up-to-date knowledge of complex FTA guidelines. Our experienced VAT advisors offer comprehensive VAT registration services in the UAE to help you through each step of the process.

Types of VAT Registration

There are two types of VAT registrations in the UAE. The type of VAT registration applicable to your business depends on your company’s past and expected annual turnover.

Mandatory VAT Registration

Businesses with annual taxable income that exceeds AED 375,000 are legally required to register for VAT. This type of registration is called mandatory VAT registration. It allows you to collect VAT on transactions legally. Avyanco assists you in effectively meeting all the mandatory VAT registration requirements.

Voluntary VAT Registration

If your annual turnover falls between AED 187,500 and 375,000, you can choose voluntary VAT registration. This provides your company with a TRN and the benefit of leveraging input tax recovery. 

Avyanco’s VAT experts carefully assess your business if voluntary registration is ideal for your company or not.
