How it works

The rules behind this tool, explained.

The UAE standard VAT rate is 5%.

To add VAT, multiply the price by 1.05. To find the VAT inside a total, divide the total by 21 (because 5% of the net price is one twenty-first of the gross).

Some supplies are zero-rated (0%) or exempt, so check how your products are treated before invoicing.

Common questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us directly.

What is the VAT rate in the UAE?

The standard rate is 5%. Some supplies, such as many exports and international transport, are zero-rated, and some, such as residential rent, are exempt.

How do I calculate VAT included in a price?

Divide the VAT-inclusive total by 21. For AED 1,050, the VAT is AED 50.

Do I have to show VAT on my invoices?

Yes. A registered business must issue tax invoices that show the VAT amount and your TRN.
