VAT Frequently asked questions

Can I sell at noon if I'm not VAT-registered due to an annual turnover lower than the threshold?

Yes, of course. noon aims to support all local businesses with a valid trading license including those that haven't accumulated the annual turnover required to register for VAT in your country.
With your registered company in either UAE, KSA or Egypt, you can also sell on noon if you are not registered under VAT by just selecting the 'Non-VAT Registered' option in the tax details section while creating a Legal Entity.

Notes

registered in UAE, KSA or Egypt VAT registration certificate issued by
the country in which you wish to sell is mandatory.
