Frequently asked questions
Who is required to apply for a tax registration certificate?
Businesses that meet the mandatory VAT registration threshold under law must register with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Businesses below this threshold can also apply for voluntary registration, subject to the applicable criteria.
Can foreign-owned companies apply for it?
Yes definitely. International firms can apply for a tax registration certificate by meeting specified registration requirements and submitting the necessary documentation.
How long is the certificate valid?
A Tax Registration Certificate remains valid as long as your business remains registered for VAT with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). It does not require annual renewal. However, businesses must continue to comply with their VAT obligations and apply for deregistration if they are no longer required to remain registered.
What is a Tax Registration Number (TRN)?
A Tax Registration Number (TRN) is a unique identification number issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) when your business is successfully registered for VAT. It must be included on VAT-compliant tax invoices and is used for VAT returns and other tax-related transactions.
Can my application form be rejected?
Applications may be declined if the eligibility criteria are not met or if the required documentation is incomplete or does not satisfy the relevant authority’s requirements. Verifying your application is accurate and complete can help minimise delays.
