Understanding VAT in Dubai
VAT was introduced in January 2018, as part of the UAE’s steps towards diversification of the economy. A 5% tax is applicable on most goods and services and adherence is mandatory for companies meeting the annual turnover threshold.
VAT is levied on the consumption of goods and services at each stage of the supply chain, from production to distribution to the final consumer. Businesses are required to register for VAT if their annual taxable supplies exceed the mandatory registration threshold.
Certain goods and services may be exempt from VAT, such as healthcare, education, residential property sales and rentals, and local transportation.
Businesses registered for VAT are required to charge VAT on their taxable supplies, maintain proper accounting records, file VAT returns, and remit the VAT collected to the government.
