Frequently Asked Questions
The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, introduced on 1 January 2018. It applies to most goods and services unless specifically zero-rated or exempt.
Multiply the price by 1.05. Example: AED 1,000 × 1.05 = AED 1,050 (VAT-inclusive). The VAT amount is AED 50.
Divide by 1.05 to get the pre-VAT price. Example: AED 1,050 ÷ 1.05 = AED 1,000 (pre-VAT). VAT amount = AED 1,050 − AED 1,000 = AED 50.
Businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 per year are required to register for VAT. Voluntary registration is available for businesses over AED 187,500. Check the FTA website for current thresholds.
Zero-rated items include certain food items, healthcare, education, international transport, and exports. Exempt items include bare land and some financial services. Consult the FTA for the complete list.
