WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey handles VAT Return Filing for the companies we form and for businesses that come to us later, so the process is routine for our tax team. Put simply, the Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes VAT Return Filing a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting documents must match your licence exactly. the UAE is Australia's largest trade and investment partner in the Middle East, with a CEPA concluded in 2024, which gives Australian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their VAT Return Filing licence is issued. Australians are a community of more than 15,000 residents in education, construction, hospitality and sports, so the VAT Return Filing authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Australian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why VAT Return Filing
GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax application for VAT Return Filing, uploads the supporting documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. In our experience, keeping records for five years, issuing compliant invoices and filing on time are the ongoing obligations that follow VAT Return Filing. Crucially, australian applicants benefit from the fact that VAT Return Filing already has many Australian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Australia documents and name formats instantly.

Frequently asked questions
Can GoldenKey act as my tax agent?
Yes. GoldenKey can prepare and submit filings on your behalf and handle FTA correspondence, so you have one point of contact for licence, visa and tax matters.

The FTA normally responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.

No. You can apply for the licence from Australia with scanned papers, and the investor residence visa is handled afterwards.
Can a Australian citizen own 100% of a company in VAT Return Filing?
