Consultant running at AED 320k trailing twelve-month revenue, mostly UAE-based clients. Projections put us past AED 375k in roughly four to six months, so the mandatory window is coming. The question is whether to register voluntarily now or wait.
On the client side, a VAT number looks more professional and some corporate procurement teams already ask for it. On our side, voluntary registration adds quarterly filings and changes how we invoice. We want a consultant to look at the actual numbers and client mix and recommend one side, not list pros and cons. Happy to act on a clear recommendation within a week.
