Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax charged on goods and services whenever value is added at each stage of the supply chain. It was officially introduced in the UAE on 1st January 2018 with a standard VAT rate of 5%, which still applies today.
The VAT calculation in the UAE impacts nearly every business, making accurate calculations essential for compliance and financial planning.
Using our UAE VAT Calculator Online does not have to be complicated. Our VAT calculator starts with the standard UAE VAT rate of 5%; however, you can adjust it for your country, as the underlying formula remains the same.
You can either “Add VAT” or “Subtract VAT” based on what you need. While adding the values, just make sure you follow this set of rules:
To calculate an amount including VAT, enter the base price (before VAT) into the calculator.
To calculate an amount excluding VAT, enter the final price (with VAT included).
The calculator will instantly show you the VAT amount and the adjusted total.
If you are new to this entire process and do not know what these terms mean, don’t worry. Here are the important terms you need to understand:
This means the displayed amount already includes 5% VAT. For example, if a product is labelled as VAT inclusive and costs AED 183750, it includes both product cost and VAT.
This means VAT is not included and will be added at the point of sale. If the product is labelled as VAT exclusive and costs AED 175000, a 5% VAT will be added on top of the original cost, taking the total price to AED 183750.
Understanding this difference helps avoid billing, contracts, and financial reporting confusion.
VAT Inclusive Price = VAT Exclusive Price × (1 + VAT Rate)
VAT Exclusive Price = VAT Inclusive Price / (1 + VAT Rate)
VAT Amount = VAT Inclusive Price – VAT Exclusive Price
Let’s take the same example we discussed earlier. If a product costs AED 100 (exclusive), then AED 175000 × (1 + 0.05) = AED 183750 (inclusive). Here, VAT Amount = AED 8750. You can round off the value based on your needs.
Even if you are calculating higher rates like the 20% VAT calculator for other countries, the formula remains the same.
VAT registration in the UAE is a legal requirement for businesses that cross certain turnover thresholds. Whether you are a local company or a foreign entity operating in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE, understanding the criteria helps you stay compliant and avoid penalties.

Exports, international transport, crude oil and natural gas, first sale of residential property, specific healthcare & medicines.
Certain financial services, subsequent residential property sales, bare land, and local passenger transport.
Businesses dealing in both taxable and exempt goods (e.g., training courses with free books).
Most goods and services in UAE, including food, beverages, telecom, insurance (except life), hotels, and more.

You multiply the net (exclusive) price by 5% to get the VAT amount, then add it to the base price for the inclusive total.
VAT returns are calculated by subtracting input VAT (paid on purchases) from output VAT (collected on sales). The difference is what you pay to or reclaim from the FTA.
Trade license, passport copies of owners/partners, business income records, and other incorporation documents are required.
Most businesses are required to file VAT returns quarterly, while some businesses may need to file monthly as directed by the FTA.
VAT refunds can be claimed through the FTA portal if your input VAT (paid) exceeds your output VAT (collected). The FTA will review and process the claim.
Errors in VAT calculation or reporting can result in hefty penalties, including fines for underpayment, late payment, or incorrect filings.
