What is the UAE VAT registration threshold?

A business must mandatorily register for VAT if its taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months or are expected to exceed this threshold in the next 30 days.

Voluntary registration threshold is 187,500 AED. Voluntary registration is done by the businesses who are planning to claim back VAT which they paid for their corporate expenses, for example office fitout and furnishings.
