Value Added Tax has applied across the UAE since 1 January 2018 at a standard rate of 5%, covering most goods and services. As an indirect tax, VAT affects nearly every transaction, making accurate registration, compliance, and reporting essential. At My Taxman, our VAT consultant in Dubai delivers end-to-end support—from VAT registration and compliance reviews to return filing, refund management, and ongoing advisory—so your business stays compliant and optimizes cash flow.

VAT Implementation in UAE
The UAE introduced Value Added Tax to diversify government revenue and reduce reliance on oil. As a consumption tax, the cost is ultimately borne by the end consumer, while registered businesses act as intermediaries—collecting Value Added Tax on taxable supplies and remitting it to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). My Taxman supports your Value Added Tax journey in Dubai and across the UAE, from registration and compliant invoicing to timely return filing and FTA correspondence.

Types of Supplies under UAE VAT Law
The UAE VAT law categorizes supplies into three main types:
1) Standard-rated (5%): Most taxable goods and services supplied in the UAE.
2) Zero-rated (0%): Taxable at 0% with full input recovery. Examples include exports of goods and services (subject to conditions), international transportation, certain medicines and medical equipment, and the first supply of residential buildings within 3 years of completion.
3) Exempt: No Value Added Tax charged and input recovery is restricted. Examples include residential property leases and subsequent sales (after the first supply), certain margin-based financial services, local passenger transport, and bare land.
4) Outside scope: Not treated as a supply for UAE Value Added Tax purposes. Examples include employee salaries, supplies made outside the UAE, transfer of a business as a going concern (TOGC), intra‑Value Added Tax‑group transactions, and pure compensation/damages payments.
My Taxman helps classify your supplies correctly, document the treatment on invoices and contracts, and reflect it accurately in VAT returns.
