What you get

Everything the FTA needs, prepared for you

VAT registration in the UAE is done on the FTA's EmaraTax portal. Most delays come from mismatched licence details, missing signatory documents or turnover figures the FTA cannot follow. We fix those before the application goes in.

  • Turnover worked out from your sales records — past 12 months and next 30 days
  • EmaraTax application prepared and submitted
  • Answers to FTA clarification requests
  • Your TRN certificate, plus a filing calendar for your first returns

Documents we usually ask for

  • Trade licence
  • Passport and Emirates ID of the owners or authorised signatory
  • Proof of authority for the signatory (MoA or power of attorney)
  • Company contact and bank details
