About VAT registration:

- The business expects to make taxable supplies in the next 30 days that will have a value that is more than the mandatory registration threshold, or
- The amount of mandatory registration threshold is AED 375,000.
b) Voluntary Registration
Any business that doesn’t meet the mandatory registration criteria and falls into the following classifications may opt for a voluntary registration:

- The business expects for their taxable supplies or taxable expenditure for the next 30 days to be worth more than the voluntary registration threshold, or

VAT Groups
A group of companies may register under a single VAT registration entity if they meet the eligibility requirements. Such a group is considered as a single taxable entity and allowed to balance the tax credit of member companies. Trade within group companies also does not attract tax.
Eligibility to form a VAT Group has been announced and the businesses that satisfy certain requirements covered under the Legislation (such as being resident in the UAE and being related/associated parties) will be able to register as a VAT group.
