VAT
VAT was introduced in the UAE on 1 January 2018 and applies to most goods and services at a standard rate of 5%. We help businesses register, maintain compliant records and file accurate VAT returns.
VAT in the UAE
The Federal Tax Authority oversees VAT across all emirates. Certain supplies are zero-rated or exempt, while most taxable supplies are subject to the standard 5% rate.
Businesses generally must register when annual taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000. Voluntary registration may be available when the applicable threshold and conditions are met.
