Online VAT Calculator

This VAT Calculator UAE is a user-friendly tool designed by Bestax, who also offer VAT consultancy services in Dubai. This tool simplifies VAT calculations, making it easier for businesses to comply with UAE VAT regulations. Our calculator provides two options: add VAT to or subtract VAT from your amounts, ensuring you get the correct VAT value every time.

VAT in UAE

VAT was introduced in the UAE on January 1, 2018. Since then, all businesses must calculate VAT accurately and submit the correct tax amount to the government. Our online VAT calculator makes this task effortless by automating the process, helping you stay compliant with UAE VAT laws.

Registering for VAT

Businesses must register for VAT if their taxable supplies or imports exceed certain thresholds.

VAT Obligations for Registered Businesses

VAT-registered businesses in the UAE are required to:

• Charge VAT on all taxable goods and services.
• Reclaim VAT paid on business-related expenses.
• Maintain Business Records to ensure compliance and facilitate government checks.

You must report the VAT you’ve charged and paid to the government regularly, typically through online submissions. If you’ve charged more VAT than you’ve paid, you’ll pay the difference to the government. Conversely, if you’ve paid more VAT than you’ve charged, you can reclaim the VAT Refund.

Understanding Your VAT Calculator Results

• VAT Amount: This is the 5% VAT Amount calculated based on your input amount
• Total Amount: This is the final amount, including or excluding VAT as per your desired calculation. 

Example Calculations

Zero-Rated Sectors

In some cases, VAT is charged at 0%. This applies to specific sectors:

VAT-Exempt Sectors

Some sectors are completely exempt from VAT:

Partial Exemption

If a VAT-registered business incurs input tax on its expenses, this tax can be fully recovered if the expenses relate to a taxable supply i.e Standard Rated or Zero Rated. However, if the expenses relate to a non-taxable supply (like exempt supplies), the input tax cannot be recovered.

When expenses relate to both taxable and non-taxable supplies (such as in the banking industry), the business must apportion the input tax between the two. The ratio of recoverable input tax to total input tax should be used as the basis for this apportionment, but other fair methods may be used if agreed upon with the Federal Tax Authority.
