Understanding Value Added Tax (VAT) in the UAE

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption-based tax applied to the sale of goods and services. In the UAE, VAT is charged at a standard rate of 5% at the point of sale. Businesses are responsible for collecting and accounting for this tax on behalf of the government.

VAT was introduced in the UAE on 1 January 2018 as part of the country’s strategy to diversify revenue sources and reduce dependence on oil and hydrocarbons. The revenue generated from VAT contributes to enhancing public services and supporting national development goals.


VAT Registration Criteria in the UAE

At Leopard Transactions, we assist businesses in understanding and fulfilling their VAT obligations in compliance with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations.

Mandatory VAT Registration:

A business must register for VAT if:

  • Its taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 per year

  • A non-UAE-based business makes taxable supplies within the UAE, regardless of value, and no other party is responsible for accounting for the tax

Voluntary VAT Registration:

Businesses may choose to register for VAT if their taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 187,500 per year


How VAT Works

VAT is collected at each stage of the supply chain. Businesses charge VAT on sales and remit it to the government while also recovering VAT paid on eligible business expenses.

In simple terms:

  • Businesses collect VAT from customers

  • Businesses pay VAT to suppliers

  • The difference is settled with the government through VAT returns

Foreign businesses may also be eligible to recover VAT incurred during their operations or visits to the UAE, subject to applicable regulations.
