My sales are still small — can I register for VAT voluntarily?

Yes — if your taxable revenue or expenses exceed a lower limit than the mandatory threshold, you can register voluntarily. This is very useful for a startup with large setup costs (rent, equipment, fit-out) that wants to recover the input tax on them instead of losing it as an extra cost.

This decision has a cost too — a duty to file periodic returns even if sales are still small. At RASEEKH, we help you weigh the recovery benefit against the compliance burden before you decide.
