Frequently asked questions
What's the UAE VAT rate?▾
5% standard rate. A small list of zero-rated and exempt categories exists (basic food essentials, education, certain healthcare). The VAT Calculator handles standard 5% in either direction (add VAT to a net price OR back out VAT from a gross price).
When is the VAT return due?▾
Quarterly for most filers. Q1 (Jan-Mar) due by end of April; Q2 by end of July; Q3 by end of October; Q4 by end of January. Large businesses (revenue > AED 150M) file monthly. The VAT Return Calculator shows whether you're in a payable or refund position.
Who pays UAE Corporate Tax?▾
All UAE businesses with taxable income above AED 375,000/year pay 9%. Below the threshold: 0%. Qualifying Free Zone Persons can maintain 0% on 'qualifying income' but pay 9% on mainland-sourced non-qualifying income.
What's Small Business Relief?▾
An election available to businesses with revenue under AED 3 million. Reduces compliance burden — you opt into a simplified regime that effectively treats taxable income as zero for the period. Has to be claimed annually on your tax return.
Can I claim VAT on personal purchases?▾
No — only business expenses qualify, and only if the business is VAT-registered. Personal purchases (groceries, restaurants, personal phone bills) are not deductible. Tourists can reclaim VAT on departure via the Planet Tax-Free program (separate, hotel-purchased items).
