Frequently asked questions
Should my startup register for VAT before it has revenue?
You can register voluntarily once your taxable supplies or your taxable expenses exceed AED 187,500. That lets you recover VAT on your costs, but it also means filing returns, so it's worth checking first.
What happens to startup losses under Corporate Tax?
Tax losses can be carried forward and set against future taxable income, up to 75% of that income each year, provided the conditions are met. Recording losses correctly from the first year matters.
Can you prepare reports for our investors?
Yes. Each month we send a simple pack with profit and loss, cash, burn rate and runway, which you can drop into your investor update.
