GoldenKey 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. GoldenKey has Singaporean customers from Singapore, and our consultants understand the documents released in Singapore and how to attest them for the UAE. On the ground, the most common businesses Singaporeans open through GoldenKey are in fintech, logistics, trading and technology, although VAT Return Filing supports almost any activity.

Frequently asked questions
Does VAT Return Filing apply to a new company with no revenue yet?
Put simply, filing starts from the first tax period after registration, even if the return is nil.
Can GoldenKey act as my tax agent?
Absolutely. 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.
How long does VAT Return Filing take with the FTA?
The FTA as a rule responds within 20 business days, and simple applications are often approved faster. GoldenKey submits a complete file to avoid information requests.
Can a Singaporean citizen own 100% of a company in VAT Return Filing?
It can. Singaporeans can own the full share capital of a VAT Return Filing company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Singapore and the UAE?
Yes, it can. The UAE and Singapore have a double taxation agreement, and a UAE tax residency certificate lets you claim treaty relief on qualifying income. GoldenKey can obtain the certificate once your company is established.
