Key points include:
Registration Requirements
- Mandatory registration for businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 annually.
- Optional registration for businesses with taxable supplies between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000 annually.
- Filing Frequency
- Generally quarterly for standard businesses.
- Monthly filing may be required for larger businesses.
