So, here are the necessary points to be taken note of which would help you understand what your business will be requested to do.

Registration

Companies meeting the minimum turnover criteria will be required to get it registered for VAT. A Unique Tax Payer Registration Number will be provided to all the companies registered under VAT. Companies with yearly revenue of 3.7 million dirham are taxable and should be registered under the VAT Law. Companies having annual revenue which is between 1.87 and 3.75 million dirham will have the option to register under VAT either during Phase 1 or later. For Phase 2, no minimum thresholds have been announced by the government yet.

Financial Transaction Recordings

Each and every company in UAE is required to maintain proper financial transaction records. The respective businesses will be responsible in ensuring the fact that financial records of the firm are accurate, updated and trustworthy. These financial records will serve as pieces of evidence to identify if the company is meeting minimum annual revenue criteria and whether it is mandatory for the firm to get registered under VAT. As per the Ministry of Finance in UAE, it is crucial for every company to maintain records of financial transaction even if the body thinks that it won’t be required to get registered under VAT.
