WhatsApp quoteThe Federal Tax Authority's EmaraTax portal makes VAT Registration a digital process, but the questions it asks are precise and the supporting paperwork must match your licence exactly. VAT Registration is registering with the Federal Tax Authority for 5% VAT, and it applies to businesses with taxable supplies and imports above AED 375,000 in the last 12 months (mandatory) or AED 187,500 (voluntary). Ajman businesses in districts such as Al Rashidiya, Al Nuaimiya, Al Jurf, Al Rawda and Al Mowaihat use GoldenKey for VAT Registration because we combine local presence with federal expertise. In Ajman, VAT Registration is handled by GoldenKey's team through the local authority offices, and our consultants visit them in person when a file needs it.
Why VAT Registration
GoldenKey prepares the EmaraTax submission for VAT Registration, uploads the documents and follows up with the FTA until the certificate is issued. Importantly, the steps for VAT Registration are: create an EmaraTax account, upload licence, passport, Emirates ID and bank letter, declare expected turnover and import values and then receive the TRN certificate.
