How do I handle VAT and invoicing on a UAE online store?

Last Updated: Nov 8, 20261 min read

VAT at the standard rate applies to most taxable sales in the UAE, and businesses above the registration threshold must register and charge it. Your store should display prices clearly, indicate whether VAT is included and produce compliant tax invoices with your Tax Registration Number where required.

Requirements depend on your business, products and customers, so confirm details with the Federal Tax Authority or a qualified adviser. Rules can change.

Technically, the store can be configured to calculate VAT, show inclusive or exclusive prices and generate invoices automatically.

Setup considerations:

  • Price display: inclusive or exclusive of VAT, shown clearly
  • Tax rules: correct rates for products and destinations
  • Invoices: tax invoice format with required details
  • Registration number: displayed where required
  • Refunds: credit notes handled correctly
  • Accounting sync: link to your accounting system

We configure these settings in your SEO company in Dubai project once your adviser confirms the rules, and a ecommerce website development company in Dubai build can follow the same configuration.
