Frequently Asked Questions

The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, introduced on 1 January 2018 under Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017. It applies to most goods and services supplied in the UAE, with specific categories treated as zero-rated or exempt by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1.05. For example, AED 1,050 inclusive of VAT equals AED 1,000 net plus AED 50 VAT. Our Extract mode performs this calculation automatically.
Registration is mandatory for businesses whose taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months. Voluntary registration is available above AED 187,500. Registration is completed through the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) EmaraTax portal.
Zero-rated supplies are taxed at 0% but still allow the supplier to recover input VAT — examples include exports outside the GCC, international transport, and the first supply of new residential property. Exempt supplies fall outside VAT recovery — examples include certain financial services, bare land, and local passenger transport. The full lists are defined in the Executive Regulations published by the FTA.
The Federal Tax Authority provides a free TRN verification service on its official website. A valid TRN confirms the business is registered to charge VAT. Invoices showing VAT must display the supplier's TRN.
