Vat Advisory

VAT registration, return filing, refund applications, and compliance advisory for UAE-based entities.

Value Added Tax Compliance

UAE VAT at 5% applies to most goods and services supplied within the country, with specific exemptions and zero-rating provisions for designated categories. Businesses exceeding the mandatory registration threshold of AED 375,000 in taxable supplies must register for VAT, file periodic returns, and maintain compliant records.

Polaris provides end-to-end VAT advisory covering registration, ongoing compliance, return preparation and filing, refund applications, and advisory on complex transactions including cross-border supplies, real estate transactions, and financial services. We ensure that clients claim all available input tax recovery while maintaining full compliance with FTA requirements.
