Key Features
How VAT shapes invoices in UAE
The UAE introduced 5% VAT in 2018; exports and qualifying designated free-zone supplies are zero-rated, while a few sectors such as local passenger transport are exempt.
A tax invoice must display the supplier's 15-digit TRN, a sequential number, the VAT amount in AED, and the words 'Tax Invoice'; supplies under AED 10,000 may use a simplified invoice.
