Corporate Tax & VAT Welcome to
Corporate Tax & VAT Corporate Tax & VAT Consultancy
Smart Strategy. Zero Tax Surprises.
We make VAT registration and corporate tax compliance straightforward. Whether you’re applying for your Tax Registration Number (TRN), calculating your exact corporate tax bracket, or securing a Tax Residency Certificate from the Federal Tax Authority, our specialists handle it all.
At Oasis Start, we help you cut through the complexity. Our expert accountants assess your invoices, contracts, and purchase orders to see if your business needs mandatory or voluntary registration.
Here is what you need to know about both
Mandatory registration starts when taxable goods and services exceed AED 375,000 in the past year, or are expected to in the next 30 days.
Voluntary Registration starts when your entity’s value of taxable goods and services is going to surpass the voluntary registration threshold (AED 187,500.00) over the previous 12-month period, or your company’s anticipated total value will exceed the voluntary registration threshold in the next 30 days.
Who needs VAT registration?
- Mainland and Free Zone companies
- Freelancers and sole proprietors earning over AED 1 million annually
- Tax groups requiring consolidated filings
- Partnerships or exempt entities engaging in taxable activities
Even if your turnover is under AED 1 million, you’ll still need to file a nil return if you are already registered.
We make VAT simple—saving you from penalties, missed filings, or confusing paperwork. Your business stays fully aligned with FTA regulations, without any uncertainty.
Branch Office of Local & Foreign Companies
Already have a company in the UAE or abroad? You can open a branch on the mainland under your existing license. The branch can run multiple activities listed on the parent license — a smart way to expand without creating a whole new entity.

Eligibility & Registration Timeline
If your company earns below AED 187,500, VAT registration isn’t required yet. Once you cross the mandatory threshold, you have 20 working days to submit your application. Make sure a corporate bank account is ready—it’s essential for a smooth process.
Filing Deadlines & Penalties
Deadline: 9 months from your financial year-end
Penalty: It’s 2% of the unpaid VAT amount for the first 7 days, and 4% after the first 7 days. If you don’t pay the VAT amount in a month, then it will be 1% per day until it reaches 300% of the unpaid VAT amount.
VAT in Dubai – Flat 5%
VAT in Dubai is charged at a standard 5% on most goods and services. It applies to imports, retail, and hospitality, while a few categories—like healthcare and education—are fully or partially exempt.
0% VAT Categories
Some industries enjoy a zero-rated VAT, meaning they still file returns but charge 0%. This includes exports outside the GCC, international transportation, crude oil and gas, and newly built residential properties sold within three years.
VAT Refund (Input Tax Credit)
You can recover VAT paid on expenses or purchases used to make taxable supplies. Your net VAT is what you collect minus what you’ve already paid—the balance is what’s due or refundable.
Exempt Services
Certain activities aren’t taxed at all—like financial services, residential property, vacant land, and local public transport. Unlike zero-rated supplies, exempt businesses can’t claim input tax, so compliance is key to avoiding penalties.
