VAT was introduced in the UAE in January 2018 at a standard rate of 5%. Businesses operating in Sharjah must adhere to VAT regulations, including registration, filing returns, and maintaining accurate records. VAT applies to most goods and services, with certain exemptions and zero-rated supplies.
Businesses in Sharjah are required to register for VAT if they meet specific criteria:
Failing to register within the stipulated timeframe can result in penalties.
The VAT registration process involves several steps, requiring businesses to provide detailed documentation and submit applications through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) portal. The process typically includes:
Trade license, financial statements, owner identification documents, and other relevant information.
Filing the VAT registration application on the FTA portal.
Once approved, your business will be issued a Tax Registration Number (TRN), confirming your VAT registration.
At Shuraa Tax, we streamline this process, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our clients.
Failing to comply with VAT regulations in the UAE can lead to financial penalties, which can strain your business operations and reputation. Here are some of the most common VAT-related violations and their associated penalties:
Penalty: AED 20,000, businesses required to register but fail to do so are subject to this penalty.
Penalty: 2% of the unpaid tax immediately after the due date, 4% if the tax is not paid within 7 days, 1% daily thereafter, and up to 300% of the unpaid tax.
Penalty: 2% of the unpaid tax immediately, 4% after seven days, and an additional 1% daily penalty, up to 300% of the unpaid amount.
Penalty: AED 10,000 for the first offence and AED 20,000 for repeat offences.
Penalty: AED 2,500 per invoice not issued as per VAT regulations.
