Why Choose KLOUDAC for VAT Accounting in Dubai?
As VAT has become a central component of commercial taxation in the UAE, it’s essential to work with an accounting firm that specializes in VAT compliance. KLOUDAC stands out as a trusted VAT accounting and consultancy firm in Dubai, supported by a team of chartered accountants and financial advisors fluent in UAE VAT regulations.
We guide clients from individuals and startups to SMEs and large corporations through VAT complexities: from VAT registration to compliant return filing, record maintenance, and full audit support.
Under UAE tax law, every taxable business is required to maintain accurate VAT records and documentation. This includes capturing detailed input VAT (tax on purchases) and output VAT (tax on sales), and calculating the VAT component properly for each transaction. By ensuring timely VAT payments and accurate bookkeeping, businesses reduce tax burdens and avoid penalties.
As a leading VAT consultant in Dubai and across the UAE, KLOUDAC offers end-to-end VAT support tax data management, VAT calculation, report review, VAT filing structures, compliance checks, and more.
Different Types of VAT
Input VAT
Input VAT is the tax paid on purchases of goods or services. For FTA-registered buyers, this amount can be deducted from the total VAT payable.
Output VAT
Output VAT is the tax collected on the sale of goods or services. It is calculated directly based on the selling price.
VAT rate in the UAE
VAT in the UAE is applied at different rates based on specific categories, as outlined below:
A 5% VAT applies to most goods and services, including automobiles, electronics, fuel, jewelry, food and beverages, clothing, entertainment, cosmetics, restaurants, hotels, construction, and commercial leases.
Goods and services subject to 0% VAT include exports, international transport of goods and passengers, certain means of transport, investment-grade precious metals (99% purity or higher), residential buildings, charity-related buildings, specific education services, and certain healthcare services.
No VAT is charged on specific categories such as financial services, certain residential properties, bare land, and local passenger transportation.
Many accounting firms now offer comprehensive VAT services, but it’s important to choose a consultant who covers all VAT-related obligations. Rather than relying on online information, hiring a VAT expert ensures access to the latest tax rules and accurate guidance.
