How it is calculated

UAE VAT has been 5% since 2018. To remove it from a gross price divide by 1.05 — don't subtract 5%, which gives the wrong answer.

Residential rent, most financial services, local passenger transport and some education and healthcare are exempt or zero-rated; check the invoice.

Not on residential rent. Commercial rent carries 5%.

Is there VAT on salaries or gratuity?
