The standard UAE VAT rate is 5%. Need to register, file, or reclaim VAT? See our VAT registration and VAT filing services.
Our free UAE VAT calculator helps you add or remove 5% VAT on any amount in seconds. Whether you are pricing a product, raising an invoice, or checking a supplier's quote, the calculator gives you the net amount, the VAT, and the total instantly.
To add VAT, enter the amount excluding VAT and the calculator shows the 5% VAT and the final VAT-inclusive total. To remove VAT, enter the VAT-inclusive amount and the calculator works backwards to show the original net amount and the VAT portion.
The standard VAT rate in the UAE is 5%, introduced on 1 January 2018. It applies to most goods and services, while some supplies are zero-rated or exempt. Businesses with taxable turnover above AED 375,000 per year must register for VAT, and those above AED 187,500 may register voluntarily.
VAT is calculated as 5% of the net (pre-VAT) value of a supply. For example, on a net amount of AED 1,000, the VAT is AED 50, making the total AED 1,050. To find the net amount from a VAT-inclusive figure, divide the total by 1.05 — so AED 1,050 includes AED 50 of VAT on a net amount of AED 1,000. Our UAE VAT calculator does both calculations for you automatically.
