# VAT Registration & Filing Support in the UAE

> Prepare the business information and transaction records needed for UAE VAT registration and return work.

Category: UAE tax advisory & transfer pricing.

## Overview

VAT registration and filing depend on the business’s taxable activity and the records behind its sales and purchases. Before a registration or return is prepared, the company should understand its position and have evidence that supports the figures being reported.
TGA offers VAT registration and filing support. We can help review the available turnover and transaction information, organise supporting documents and assist with preparation of the applicable registration or return work.

## Where TGA can help

- **Registration review:** Bring together activities, taxable supplies and supporting records relevant to a VAT registration question.
- **Return information:** Organise sales, purchases and other transaction data for the relevant tax period.
- **Reconciliation and review:** Compare return inputs with the underlying records and flag matters needing clarification.

## How we work

1. **Establish the position:** We discuss the business activity and VAT task involved.
2. **Collect evidence:** We organise turnover and transaction records.
3. **Prepare and review:** We agree the filing assistance and outstanding questions.

## Useful information to share

- Trade licence and entity details
- Sales and purchase records
- Existing VAT registration and prior returns, if any
- Invoices, credit notes and transaction support

VAT registration criteria and return obligations depend on current FTA rules and the business’s facts. TGA will confirm the work in scope before any submission.
