Understanding VAT in UAE

What do you need to know about VAT in UAE?

What is UAE VAT?

VAT is a 5% consumption tax applied at each stage of the supply chain. Businesses collect VAT from customers on taxable supplies (output VAT) and recover VAT paid on business purchases (input VAT). The difference is what you pay to FTA each quarter.

Who must register for VAT?

Mandatory registration: businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months, or expected to exceed AED 375,000 in the next 30 days. Voluntary registration: businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 187,500.

What is zero-rated VAT?

Zero-rated supplies are taxable at 0% — businesses making zero-rated supplies can still recover input VAT on related expenses. Common zero-rated supplies: exports, international transportation, certain healthcare and education services.

What is exempt VAT?

Exempt supplies carry no VAT charge and no input VAT recovery. Common exempt supplies: certain financial services, residential property rentals, local passenger transport.

What are the FTA penalties?

Late registration: AED 20,000. Late return filing: AED 1,000 first offence, AED 2,000 repeat. Incorrect return: 50% of unpaid VAT. Failure to maintain records: AED 10,000–50,000.

Ask a consultant

Businesses with taxable supplies exceeding AED 375,000 per year must register mandatorily. Businesses between AED 187,500 and AED 375,000 can register voluntarily.

The standard rate is 5%. Some supplies are zero-rated — exports, international transportation, certain healthcare and education. Some are exempt — certain financial services and residential rentals.

Most businesses file quarterly. Some larger businesses may be required to file monthly. The filing deadline is the 28th of the month following the end of each tax period.

AED 1,000 fixed penalty for first late filing, AED 2,000 for repeat within 24 months. Additional penalties on unpaid VAT. Modest Consulting Services ensures your return is filed before every deadline.

Most legitimate business expenses qualify. VAT on entertainment and personal expenses does not. Your VAT consultant reviews your expenses and maximises eligible input VAT recovery.
