How do I register VAT for Amazon sellers in the UAE?

Amazon sellers operating in the United Arab Emirates must adhere to specific value-added tax (VAT) regulations. The 5% VAT is applicable on items sold on Amazon.ae that are delivered within the country. Amazon UAE acts as a collection agent, which means that they will collect the VAT on behalf of the sellers and remit it to the government. However, sellers must register for VAT with the Federal Tax Authority, obtain a Tax Registration Number (TRN), and ensure their product listings include the appropriate VAT rate.


Additionally, sellers must keep records of all transactions, invoices, and receipts for a minimum of five years. Non-compliance with VAT regulations can lead to penalties and fines. It is crucial for Amazon UAE sellers to stay up-to-date with VAT regulations and consult with tax professionals to ensure they are fully compliant with all rules and regulations. By doing so, sellers can avoid costly penalties and maintain a good reputation on the platform.


VAT registration for Amazon as a domestic seller is based on the revenue threshold. If you are a UAE resident with a UAE firm trade license who sells on Amazon, you may be requested to register voluntarily or be required to register mandatorily.

You must register for VAT if you are a non-UAE resident or an overseas vendor selling things located in the UAE to a UAE consumer, regardless of the amount of turnover from such sales. International sellers who do not have a UAE trade license must apply for VAT registration before engaging in any UAE transactions.




Amazon sellers need to adhere to the rules established by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and take care of their tax duties in the UAE by registering for VAT. Similarly, VAT is also applicable for Ecommerce sales in UAE

Social Media Influencers

, etc.

If a UAE-based Amazon company's total taxable supply and imports reach AED 375,000, it must register for VAT. You must meet this criterion to avoid fines for late registration.
