Understanding VAT in the UAE

VAT was introduced to the UAE in 2018 to provide a new income source for the country to provide high quality public services.

VAT Rate: The UAE imposes a standard VAT rate of 5% on taxable goods and services.

Zero-Rated and Exempt Supplies: Certain supplies such as local passenger transport, financial services, medical care, and exports outside the Gulf Cooperation Council are zero-rated or exempt from VAT.

VAT Registration Threshold: Businesses exceeding the prescribed annual sales threshold must register for VAT in the UAE.
