How the thresholds work
For a UAE-resident business, mandatory VAT registration generally applies when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, or are expected to exceed that amount in the next 30 days. These are separate measurement periods.
Voluntary registration may be available if taxable supplies/imports, or taxable expenses, exceed AED 187,500 in either applicable period. Exactly meeting a threshold is not the same as exceeding it.
Non-resident businesses
The resident threshold test is not sufficient. A non-resident making UAE taxable supplies may need to register regardless of value, unless another UAE party is responsible for the VAT.
