The short answer

Do I need to register for VAT in the UAE?

You must register for VAT when your taxable supplies and imports pass AED 375,000 in the last 12 months, or are expected to in the next 30 days. You can choose to register from AED 187,500. Once registered, you charge 5% VAT and file a return every quarter, due 28 days after the quarter ends.
