VAT Registration in Dubai

In the UAE, VAT will be applied at every stage of the supply chain, with a tax rate of 5 percent. Typically, the end-user bears the cost of VAT, while businesses, acting as intermediaries, collect the tax on behalf of the government. For businesses exempt from VAT, there is an opportunity to claim a VAT refund from the government. Our VAT Refund Services in Dubai offer a straightforward and convenient way to facilitate this process.
