Simplifying VAT Registration, Filling, and Compliance for Business Operating in United Arab Emirates
Business Consultation & Structuring
Safari Star provides expert consultation to help you align your operations with UAE VAT regulations. Once registered, your business receives a unique UAE VAT number, required for invoicing, tax reporting, and full legal compliance. We guide you through the process to ensure your structure supports efficient and compliant VAT operations from day one.
Import VAT Reverse Charge
Since January 1, 2022, the UAE requires import VAT to be declared in your VAT return instead of paid at customs. This reverse charge mechanism improves cash flow and simplifies import procedures. Importers must hold a valid UAE VAT number prior to import, and non-UAE entities must appoint a fiscal representative. Safari Star ensures your setup meets all local compliance requirements.
3. Required Documents for VAT Registration
To register for VAT in the UAE, you’ll typically need a translated and notarized Certificate of Incorporation, a valid passport copy of the Director, UAE bank account details for VAT payments, and a Power of Attorney, mandatory for appointing a fiscal representative if your business is based outside the UAE. Safari Star handles every step for a seamless registration process.
E-invoicing & VAT Reporting Requirements in the UAE
B2G e-invoicing
The UAE is set to implement mandatory e-invoicing for Business-to-Government (B2G) transactions as part of its efforts to streamline tax administration and enhance transparency. This requirement applies to businesses involved in transactions with the UAE government.
B2B e-invoicing
The UAE plans to introduce mandatory e-invoicing for Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions in a phased approach. The first phase will apply to large and medium-sized businesses starting in July 2026, followed by small businesses in 2027.
VAT Records Retention
Businesses are required to maintain their VAT records for at least 5 years following the end of the relevant tax period, in compliance with UAE VAT laws. These records should be available for inspection by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
