VAT questions
Straight answers to what clients ask us most. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by 1.05 to get the net figure; the difference is the VAT. For AED 1,050 including VAT, the net amount is AED 1,000 and the VAT is AED 50.
Registration is mandatory when taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, or are expected to in the next 30 days. Businesses above AED 187,500 can register voluntarily.
No. Some supplies are zero-rated — such as qualifying exports outside the GCC and international transport — and some are exempt, such as certain financial services and residential property after its first supply. They are reported differently on the return.
Usually quarterly, though some businesses file monthly. Returns, and any VAT due, are due by the 28th day after the end of each tax period.
