VAT & Tax Consultancy in UAE: Stay Compliant and Maximize Savings

Intellect Chartered Accountants — Registered Tax Agents in UAE

Since the introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) in the UAE in 2018, compliance has become a critical part of every business’s financial operations. Managing VAT registration, filing, and audits requires accuracy and expert guidance. At Intellect Chartered Accountants, we provide comprehensive VAT & Tax Consultancy services that ensure your business meets UAE tax regulations while minimizing liabilities and optimizing cash flow.

Understanding VAT in the UAE

The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, applicable to most goods and services. However, there are specific exemptions and zero-rated categories that require careful evaluation. Businesses with annual taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 are required to register for VAT, while voluntary registration applies to those exceeding AED 187,500. Non-compliance with VAT laws can result in severe penalties. That’s why our experts ensure your records, returns, and submissions align perfectly with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations.

Benefits of Professional VAT Consultation

Corporate Tax and Upcoming Reforms

In addition to VAT, the UAE introduced a 9% corporate tax on business profits from June 2023 onwards.
