Value Added Tax

Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax that is being introduced by the UAE Government, which will be payable by both business and Individuals.

VAT will be introduced across the UAE on 1 January 2018 at a standard rate of 5%.

VAT will apply to applicable products and services at a rate of 5%. Further details regarding VAT application on our products and services will be made available in the coming weeks.

Exceptions to VAT are only by law, and these are published by the Federal Tax Authority. There is a possibility for business owners to claim back their VAT payments, provided they have registered for VAT and meet the requirements. For further details, please visit www.tax.gov.ae
