Common questions
How do I calculate 5% VAT in the UAE?
Multiply the net (pre-VAT) amount by 5% to get the VAT, then add it to the net. For example, AED 100 net × 5% = AED 5 VAT, so the gross price is AED 105. You can also multiply the net by 1.05 in one step.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
Divide the VAT-inclusive (gross) price by 1.05 to get the net amount. The VAT is the difference between the gross and net. For example, AED 105 ÷ 1.05 = AED 100 net, so the VAT portion is AED 5.
What is the VAT rate in the UAE?
The UAE standard VAT rate is 5%, set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). It applies to most goods and services. Some supplies are zero-rated or exempt — check FTA guidance if you are unsure which rate applies to your business.
