VAT refund and registration dispute in the UAE

How we help with VAT refund and registration dispute

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers registration or refund application, authority response, relevant returns, invoices and transaction reconciliation. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Is AED 375,000 an annual profit threshold for VAT registration?

  No. For a UAE-resident business, the mandatory test concerns taxable supplies and imports over the previous twelve months, or expected in the next thirty days, rather than profit. FTA states that the threshold does not apply to foreign businesses in the same way. Identify residence and the nature of supplies before deciding that registration is unnecessary. Identify the registration decision or refund period and the authority's stated reason. For a refund, reconcile invoices, payments and the filed calculation; for registration, document the activity and relevant transactions. The two issues may overlap but require different evidence.
