UAE VAT registration, tracked and ready
ETX tracks your taxable turnover as you invoice, so you see the VAT registration threshold coming and reach the FTA portal already prepared.
Know exactly when you must register for VAT
Getting VAT registration right in the UAE starts before you register: you need to know when your turnover crosses the threshold, and you need the records ready. ETX — a product of KWS Fintech Services — tracks your taxable turnover as you invoice, so you can see when you are approaching the mandatory or voluntary VAT registration thresholds and prepare with time to spare. When you are ready to register, your figures and records are already in order.
How ETX helps you get registration-ready
VAT registration itself happens on the FTA's EmaraTax portal — ETX makes sure you reach that step prepared and on time.
Turnover tracking
ETX totals your taxable supplies as you invoice, so you can see your position against the registration thresholds continuously — no nasty surprises.
Threshold alerts
Understand when you are nearing the mandatory (AED 375,000) or voluntary (AED 187,500) thresholds so you can act before a penalty risk arises. Confirm current thresholds with the FTA.
Records organised
Trade licence details, turnover evidence and business information stay organised in ETX, ready for the registration application.
Compliant invoicing after registration
Once you have your TRN, ETX issues fully compliant bilingual tax invoices carrying it.

Software vs the registration itself
ETX gets you registration-ready — tracking turnover and organising records — but the VAT registration application is submitted through the FTA's EmaraTax portal. If you would like it handled for you, VAT registration is a managed service from the KWS advisory practice. ETX is not an FTA-accredited tax agent; the KWS team provides the hands-on registration support.
Common questions
When must a UAE business register for VAT?
UAE businesses must register for VAT once taxable supplies and imports exceed the mandatory registration threshold (AED 375,000), and may register voluntarily above the voluntary threshold (AED 187,500). Because thresholds and rules can change, confirm current figures with the FTA. ETX helps you track your turnover so you know when you are approaching the threshold.
Does ETX register my business for VAT with the FTA?
VAT registration is done through the FTA's EmaraTax portal. ETX helps you get registration-ready — tracking turnover and organising the records you need. For hands-on help submitting the registration, the KWS advisory practice offers VAT registration as a managed service.
How does ETX help me know when to register for VAT?
ETX tracks your taxable turnover as you invoice, so you can see when you are nearing the mandatory or voluntary VAT registration thresholds — instead of finding out too late and risking a penalty.
What records do I need for VAT registration?
Typically your trade licence, Emirates ID and passport of the owner/authorised signatory, business contact and bank details, and turnover figures. Keeping clean books in ETX means your turnover evidence is ready when you register.
Do I need VAT registration before I can issue tax invoices?
You issue formal tax invoices with your TRN once registered. ETX supports both pre-registration invoicing and, once you have a TRN, fully compliant bilingual tax invoices.
