It is essential to register for VAT with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) if your company’s revenue exceeds the VAT threshold in the United Arab Emirates. While an online VAT registration form is available through EMARATAX, many businesses find the process time-consuming, confusing, and risky if not done correctly.
That’s why partnering with VAT experts like Unicorn Global Solutions can help you avoid penalties, delays, and rejections — and stay fully compliant with UAE tax laws.
In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about VAT registration — including eligibility, documentation, and how we can handle the entire process for you.
Once you log in, the VAT registration process is launched through the e-portal. You will fill the required sections, upload the document, and wait for approval.
Note: A single mistake — such as incorrect financial estimates or activity codes — can delay your registration or cause rejection.
✅ We help you complete your VAT online registration in the UAE, ensuring that all entries meet FTA guidelines.
