What is UAE VAT compliance?

UAE VAT is a 5% value-added tax administered by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), mandatory for businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 per year. VAT returns are filed quarterly or monthly through the EmaraTax portal, with a 28-day deadline after the end of each tax period. Penalties for late filing start at AED 1,000 for the first offence and AED 2,000 for subsequent offences within 24 months. Common compliance failures include incorrect input tax recovery, misclassified zero-rated supplies, and incomplete tax invoices missing the supplier's Tax Registration Number (TRN). TruAccountants manages end-to-end VAT compliance including registration, return preparation, FTA correspondence, voluntary disclosure submissions, and VAT health checks — ensuring tax invoices meet all 12 mandatory fields required by the FTA. The service is available from AED 1,500 per month as part of the Compliance Starter package.
