Do I need to declare last year's turnover for VAT
Yes, you need to declare your business’s turnover for the last 12 months when applying for VAT registration in the UAE. This declaration helps the Federal Tax Authority determine if you meet the mandatory or voluntary registration threshold. The turnover should be supported by financial records and is usually submitted as a signed and stamped statement on your company letterhead. This requirement applies whether you are registering due to exceeding the AED 375,000 threshold or voluntarily between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000.
How quickly can I get my UAE VAT certificate
You can typically receive your UAE VAT certificate within 20 to 30 days after submitting a complete VAT registration application to the Federal Tax Authority. The process may take longer if additional information or documents are requested. Once approved, you can download the VAT certificate from the EmaraTax portal as a PDF. The application itself usually takes less than an hour to complete online.
