VAT & Indirect Tax Services

Value Added Tax (VAT) is one of the most important financial compliance requirements for UAE businesses.

Entrust ensures your VAT processes are accurate, audit-ready, and aligned with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations—reducing risks, preventing penalties, and ensuring complete transparency.

VAT?

VAT is a 5% consumption tax applied to most goods and services in the UAE. Depending on your operations, your transactions may fall under:

  • Standard-rated (5%)
  • Zero-rated (0%)
  • Exempt
  • Out-of-scope

Entrust ensures each transaction is classified correctly to avoid compliance issues.
