Stay fully compliant with UAE's VAT and Corporate Tax regulations — managed by our certified tax advisors. Avoid penalties. File on time. Every time.
The UAE introduced VAT at 5% in January 2018. Since then, compliance requirements have grown significantly, with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) actively auditing businesses and issuing substantial penalties for non-compliance.
At JSK & JYMMA, we manage every aspect of your VAT obligations — from initial registration through to quarterly filing, refund claims, and FTA audit support — ensuring your business is always protected.

The UAE introduced a federal Corporate Tax effective from June 2023, with a standard rate of 9% on taxable income exceeding AED 375,000. This is a significant change for businesses operating in the UAE, and compliance is now mandatory.

Standard corporate rate
On qualifying income, subject to conditions
Mandatory VAT registration is required when your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months, or if you expect to exceed this threshold in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500.
Free Zone entities may qualify as Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) and benefit from a 0% rate on qualifying income, provided they maintain adequate substance, meet the revenue threshold conditions, and don't earn significant non-qualifying income from the UAE mainland.
The FTA imposes an AED 1,000 penalty for the first late filing, increasing to AED 2,000 for each subsequent offence within 24 months. Additional penalties apply for VAT underpayments and errors. Staying compliant is essential.
Yes. The UAE provides a Small Business Relief provision for businesses with revenue below AED 3 million (for tax periods ending on or before 31 December 2026), allowing them to be treated as having no taxable income. We can assess your eligibility.
Most UAE businesses file quarterly VAT returns. Some larger businesses may be required to file monthly. The filing deadline is the 28th day of the month following the end of the tax period.
