Professional VAT Support for Your Business
Value Added Tax can look simple on paper – 5% on most goods and services. But when you start running a real business in the UAE, VAT becomes a daily challenge. Wrong TRN application, late VAT return filing, incorrect tax invoices, missed input tax claims – every small mistake can cost you AED 10,000 to AED 50,000 in penalties.
At Inspire Consultancy LLC, we make VAT simple for you. We are a FTA approved tax agency helping startups, SMEs, and large companies across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah stay 100% compliant with the Federal Tax Authority regulations without the stress.
Who Needs VAT Services in the UAE?
If you are doing business in the UAE, you cannot ignore VAT. As per [UAE VAT Law](https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/finance-and-investment/taxation/value-added-tax-vat), any business is required to act when it crosses certain thresholds.
Mandatory VAT Registration: If your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 in the last 12 months.
Voluntary VAT Registration: If your taxable supplies exceed AED 187,500, you can register voluntarily and claim back your input VAT. This is a smart move for many startups.
VAT Group Registration: For related companies under common control who want to manage VAT as a single entity.
Not sure where you stand? Our team at Inspire Consultancy will do a free threshold assessment for you and guide you on what is best for your business structure. You can also read more about our Business Setup Services to get your tax planning right from day one.
Our Comprehensive VAT Services in Dubai & Across UAE
We don’t just file returns. We become your VAT partner.
1. VAT Registration Services
The first step is often the most confusing. The EmaraTax portal asks for many documents and one wrong upload leads to rejection. Our experts handle the complete process for you.
We assist with:
– New VAT Registration and TRN issuance
– VAT Group Registration
– VAT Exception for businesses dealing only in zero-rated supplies
– VAT Deregistration when your business closes or falls below threshold
– Amendments in VAT certificate details
We prepare your trade license, MOA, passport copies, bank letter, turnover proof, and supply description in the exact format required by FTA. Learn more about our registration process on our VAT Registration Page.
2. VAT Implementation & Advisory
VAT is not just an accounting entry, it affects your pricing, contracts, and cash flow. Our VAT consultants sit with your sales and finance team to implement VAT correctly.
This includes:
– Reviewing your contracts for VAT clauses
– Mapping your products/services under 5%, 0% rated, exempt, and out-of-scope categories
– Designing FTA-compliant Tax Invoices and Credit Notes as per FTA invoicing requirements
– Training your accounting staff
A strong implementation saves you from future audits and disputes.
3. VAT Return Filing Services
This is where most businesses get penalties. FTA requires monthly or quarterly VAT return filing, even if it is a nil return.
Our VAT filing service includes:
– Complete review of your sales and purchase ledgers
– Correct calculation of Output VAT and Input VAT
– Adjustments for credit notes, bad debts, and reverse charge mechanism
– Filing VAT Return (Form 201) on EmaraTax before the 28th deadline
– Assistance in VAT payment and getting payment receipts
We maintain a proper audit trail so if FTA asks for clarification, you have everything ready. Check our Accounting and Bookkeeping Services which go hand-in-hand with VAT filing.
4. VAT Health Check & Audit Support
Is your VAT position clean? FTA is now issuing detailed tax audits. A small error in input tax recovery can trigger a detailed assessment.
Our FTA certified tax agents perform a full VAT Health Check:
– We review 6 to 12 months of your VAT filings
– Check if you have claimed non-recoverable VAT like entertainment expenses or blocked motor vehicle VAT
– Identify any unreported sales or reverse charge cases on imports
– We provide a detailed report with corrections needed before FTA notices it
If you have already received an FTA audit notice, we represent you before the authority, prepare voluntary disclosures, and help reduce penalties under the UAE Tax Procedures Law.
5. VAT Refund and Reconsideration
Many businesses don’t know they can claim VAT refunds. We help with:
– VAT refund for new mosque construction
– VAT refund for foreign businesses and tourists
– Filing reconsideration requests against FTA penalty decisions

Common VAT Mistakes We Help You Avoid
In our 5+ years of practice, we have seen businesses lose lakhs because of:
