VAT – Value Added Tax (UAE)

Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax applied to most goods and services at each stage of the supply chain. In the UAE, VAT is currently levied at a standard rate of 5% on most transactions unless specified otherwise by UAE Federal Tax Authority rules.

How can you calculate VAT with this tool?

With this free UAE VAT calculator, you can determine the tax effortlessly in just a few steps:

Enter the price of the goods or services in the Amount field.
Enter the percentage of VAT (standard rate in UAE is 5%) in the VAT % field.
Choose whether the price you entered is inclusive or exclusive of VAT using the Tax option.
If the price entered is inclusive of tax, the tool automatically calculates and displays the net price after removing VAT.
If the price entered is exclusive of VAT, the tool automatically calculates and displays the gross price after adding VAT.

What is VAT in UAE?

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax applied on most goods and services at each stage of supply. It was introduced in the United Arab Emirates on 1 January 2018 to diversify government revenue and align with international standards. VAT is charged at a fixed rate of 5% unless exemptions apply.

Key UAE VAT details

Standard-rated supplies - A 5% VAT applies to most goods and services supplied within the UAE, unless specifically zero-rated or exempt under the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations.

Zero-rated supplies - Certain goods and services such as exports of goods outside the GCC, international transportation, and specific healthcare and education services are taxed at 0% VAT.

Exempt supplies - Some categories such as certain financial services, residential properties (after the first supply), and bare land are exempt from VAT.

Out-of-scope supplies - Transactions that take place outside the UAE or do not meet the criteria of a taxable supply are considered out of the scope of UAE VAT.
