What This Service Covers
VAT registration is for registered businesses that must register under current VAT rules or choose voluntary registration for a commercial reason. The threshold and compulsory categories must be assessed from current law.
The business should assess its PAN, activity, turnover, address and invoicing readiness together before applying.
What Our Service Includes
- A readiness check for the PAN, business activity, turnover information, address and invoicing or record-keeping position.
- Coordination of the agreed application and verification response; IRD controls the registration decision and certificate.
- Eligibility review, portal application and follow-up within the agreed engagement.
Who It Is For
- Registered taxpayers preparing to issue VAT invoices and maintain the records required after registration.
- Businesses approaching a VAT threshold, in a compulsory category or considering voluntary registration.

What Is Not Assumed
