If you live outside the United Arab Emirates, all you need to do is get a simple VAT registration. If you have a UAE residence permit, you do not need to register up to AED 175,000, while between AED 175,000-375,000 there is a VAT registration on a voluntary basis. If it is over AED 375,000, you are required to register for UAE VAT. VAT arising from import and sales is calculated as 5% of the proforma price at customs and the sales price on Amazon. The UAE VAT system, also known as the EMARA Tax system, is quite simple. You can fulfill this obligation online with 3-monthly declarations. As part of the UAE VAT Application and VAT Declaration Course Package, we make your VAT Application and prepare your first declaration together in practice.
