When VAT registration is mandatory
Businesses must register for VAT when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, or are expected to exceed it in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500 — often worthwhile for startups with significant input VAT on costs.
