VAT on invoices in UAE
- VAT in the UAE is 5% for most goods and services, with zero-rated and exempt supplies in some sectors.
- VAT-registered businesses issue a “Tax Invoice” showing their Tax Registration Number (TRN).
- The VAT amount should be shown in AED even if the invoice is in another currency.
