UAE VAT formulas
| To find | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Total with VAT | Price × 1.05 | 1,000 × 1.05 = 1,050 |
| VAT on a price | Price × 0.05 | 1,000 × 0.05 = 50 |
| Price before VAT | Total ÷ 1.05 | 1,050 ÷ 1.05 = 1,000 |
| VAT inside a total | Total × 5 ÷ 105 | 1,050 × 5 ÷ 105 = 50 |

Frequently asked questions
What is the VAT rate in the UAE?
The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%. Some supplies are zero-rated (0%), such as certain exports, international transport and some education and healthcare, and some are exempt, such as most residential rent and certain financial services. The detailed rules are set by the Federal Tax Authority.
How do I add 5% VAT to a price?
Multiply the price by 1.05. For example, AED 1,000 plus 5% VAT is AED 1,050, of which AED 50 is VAT.
How do I remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive price?
Divide the inclusive price by 1.05 to get the price before VAT. The VAT part is the inclusive price multiplied by 5 and divided by 105. For example, AED 1,050 includes AED 50 VAT.
When must a business register for VAT in the UAE?
When its taxable supplies and imports in the previous 12 months exceed AED 375,000, or are expected to exceed it in the next 30 days. This is the mandatory threshold set by the Federal Tax Authority.
Can a smaller business register for VAT voluntarily?
Yes, if its taxable supplies and imports, or taxable expenses, in the previous 12 months exceed AED 187,500, or are expected to within the next 30 days.
Is VAT the same as corporate tax?
No. VAT is a 5% tax on sales that the customer pays and the business collects. Corporate tax is a tax on business profit: 0% up to AED 375,000 and 9% above. See the corporate tax calculator.
