What is VAT?
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied at each stage of the supply chain, from production to the sale of goods or services. In the UAE, the standard VAT rate is 5%. VAT applies to most goods and services, and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulates its implementation, ensuring businesses comply with their tax obligations.
The FTA is responsible for managing and collecting federal taxes and related fines, distributing tax-generated revenues, and applying tax laws in the UAE. It ensures that businesses comply with their tax obligations and provides guidance on the tax framework.

How to Calculate VAT in UAE
To manually calculate VAT, you can use this formula:
VAT Amount = Price × (VAT Rate ÷ 100)
For example, if a product costs AED 200, the VAT amount is AED 200 × 5% = AED 10, making the total AED 210.
Input VAT vs. Output VAT: Input VAT is the tax paid on purchases, and output VAT is the tax collected on sales. Businesses can reclaim input VAT.
