Article 3 of Ministerial Decision No. 26 of 2023 on "the Criteria and Conditions for Electronic Commerce for the Purposes of Keeping Records of the Supplies Made", as clarified by the FTA in Public Clarification VATP033, sets out the criteria and conditions for the supplies of goods or services to be considered as being supplied through an Electronic Commerce Medium. The criteria and conditions are as follows: 

1) The Goods and Services are listed or advertised on an Electronic Commerce Medium;
2) The Goods and Services are ordered through the Electronic Commerce Medium, regardless of whether the payment is made online or not;
3) In the case of a supply of Goods, the Goods are delivered to a location specified by the customer whereby this location is not owned by the supplier nor operated by that supplier.
4) In the case of a supply of Services, the Services are provided, or the right to receive the Services is granted to the customer with minimal or no human intervention. 
 
Qualifying registrants who submit VAT Returns under the e-commerce reporting will see a pop-up window to allow reporting against the Emirate in which the e-commerce supplies are received. The pop-up screen will include boxes for reporting standard rated e-commerce supplies and boxes for other standard rated supplies for each Emirate. 
When you access your EmaraTax account to submit your VAT return for the first tax period on or after 1 July 2023, you will be prompted with the e-commerce declaration questionnaire. Based on your response to the questions, you will be considered as either a "Qualifying Registrant" for e-commerce purposes or not. 
For supplies of goods considered as being supplied through an Electronic Commerce Medium, you should report the supplies based on the Emirate in which the goods are delivered. This is determined with reference to the delivery location specified by your customer whereby this location is not owned by you as the supplier nor operated by you. 

For supplies of services considered as being supplied through an Electronic Commerce Medium, you should report the supplies based on the Emirate in which the services are received. This is determined in accordance with relevant factors including  the residential address of your consumer or the establishment most closely connected to the service for your business customer.
No. You are only required to report your standard rated e-commerce supplies under Box 1 of your VAT return. 
Yes. Even if you are deregistering for VAT but at the time of submitting your final VAT return you notify the FTA of being a "Qualifying Registrant", you will still have to report your e-commerce supplies by Emirate in Box 1 of your Final VAT return. 
Yes. Notifying the FTA of your "Qualifying Registrant" status for e-commerce purposes and having your e-commerce reporting period is set to either 18 months or 2 years doesn’t mean that you have to remain registered for VAT for the full 18 months / 2 years period. You will still be able to deregister and file your final VAT return if you wish to do so. 
You will be able to see your current status for e-commerce purposes at the top of your VAT return screen.
No. You may change your "Qualifying Registrant" status by way of submitting a Voluntary Disclosure.
Your Voluntary Disclosure under e-commerce reporting will provide a pop-up window to allow you to amend your e-commerce supplies and other standard rated supplies by Emirate which were originally reported in your VAT return for the tax period for which you are submitting your Voluntary Disclosure.
