VAT Overview

Implemented on January 1, 2018, UAE VAT is a consumption tax levied on most goods and services at a standard rate of 5%.

 While some goods and services are zero-rated or exempt, businesses are required to collect VAT from customers, remit it to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), and maintain accurate records. Proper management of VAT is essential for avoiding penalties and ensuring smooth financial operations.

Compliance Obligations

Businesses must navigate various VAT compliance requirements, including:

 

• • VAT Registration: Registering for VAT if your taxable supplies exceed the mandatory threshold.

• • Issuing VAT-Inclusive Invoices: Ensuring invoices meet FTA requirements, including VAT details.

• • Filing VAT Returns: Submitting periodic VAT returns detailing collected and paid VAT.

• • Maintaining Records: Keeping detailed records of transactions and VAT-related documents for a minimum of five years.
