Criteria for registering for VAT:

A business must register for VAT if its taxable supplies and imports exceeds AED 375,000 per annum.

It is optional for businesses whose supplies and imports exceed AED 187,500 per annum. 

A business house pays the government the tax that it collects from the customers, but at the same time it receives a refund from the government on tax that it has paid to its suppliers. 

Foreign businesses may also recover the VAT they incur when visiting the UAE.
