UAE VAT Services FAQs

The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%. However, certain sectors like healthcare, education, and international transport are zero-rated (0%), while residential real estate and local passenger transport are generally exempt.
Zero-Rated supplies are taxable at 0%, allowing you to reclaim the VAT paid on related business expenses. Exempt supplies have no VAT charged, but you cannot recover the Input VAT incurred to provide them.
Generally, yes. However, transactions between companies inside Designated Zones (like JAFZA or DAFZA) may be outside the scope of VAT for goods. Services are typically taxable at 5% regardless of location. Check the FTA Designated Zones list.
Yes, the rental or sale of commercial property is subject to the standard 5% VAT rate. In contrast, residential property rent is generally exempt from VAT.
This mechanism applies when you import services from outside the UAE. Instead of paying VAT to the foreign supplier, you act as both the supplier and recipient, recording the VAT amount as both Input and Output tax in your return.
Registration is mandatory if your taxable supplies and imports exceeded AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months, or are expected to exceed this threshold in the next 30 days.
Yes, you can opt for voluntary registration if your taxable supplies or expenses exceed AED 187,500. This is beneficial for startups wishing to claim back VAT on initial setup costs.
Late registration attracts a strictly enforced penalty of AED 10,000 (previously AED 20,000). You may also face penalties for late filing of returns that should have been submitted during the missed period.
Related businesses may form a Tax Group to be treated as a single taxable person. This simplifies administration (one TRN) and excludes intra-group transactions from VAT.
You typically need your Trade License, Passport/Emirates ID of owners, bank account details, and financial records (invoices/balance sheet) proving you have met the turnover threshold.
Most businesses file on a quarterly basis. However, the Federal Tax Authority may assign a monthly filing period to larger businesses or those with a history of non-compliance to mitigate risk.
Yes, you can reclaim Input VAT on business-related expenses (e.g., rent, equipment, marketing), provided you hold a valid tax invoice. VAT on entertainment or personal use cannot be recovered.
Late filing incurs a fine of AED 1,000 for the first offense and AED 2,000 for repetition. Late payment attracts a percentage-based penalty that increases over time, starting from 2% up to a maximum cap.
Once a refund request is submitted via the FTA portal, it is typically processed within 20 business days. However, the FTA may request an audit or additional documentation, which can extend the timeline.
You must maintain all tax invoices, credit notes, and import/export documents for a minimum of 5 years. For real estate related records, the requirement extends to 15 years.
