How UAE VAT is calculated

The UAE applies a standard VAT rate of 5% on most goods and services. To add VAT, multiply the net amount by 0.05 and add it to the net. To extract VAT from a gross (VAT-inclusive) amount, divide the gross by 1.05 to find the net — the difference is the VAT.

Add VAT: AED 1,000 net → AED 50 VAT → AED 1,050 total
Remove VAT: AED 1,050 gross ÷ 1.05 → AED 1,000 net → AED 50 VAT

Zero-rated vs exempt supplies

Zero-rated supplies (such as exports and international transport) charge VAT at 0% but still appear on VAT returns and allow input-tax recovery. Exempt supplies (such as certain financial services and bare land) fall outside the VAT charge entirely. When in doubt about your category, confirm with the Federal Tax Authority or a registered tax agent — this calculator is for quick estimates, not tax advice.
