Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate 5% VAT in the UAE?

Multiply the net amount by 0.05 to get the VAT, and by 1.05 to get the total. For example, AED 1,000 + 5% VAT = AED 50 VAT, AED 1,050 total.

How do I remove VAT from a VAT-inclusive price?

Divide the gross amount by 1.05 to get the net amount. The VAT is the difference — or simply the gross amount × 5/105.
