Financial Services
VAT, or Value Added Tax, was introduced in the UAE in 2018 and is currently charged at a rate of 5% on most goods and services. While charities are traditionally associated with non-profit activities, their operations in the UAE are not automatically exempt from VAT. When charities engage in business activities—such as selling goods or services for a fee, they may be required to register for VAT, charge VAT on taxable supplies, and adhere to standard compliance obligations, including filing VAT returns and maintaining proper records.
For charities in the UAE, it’s very important to understand how VAT works. Not following the rules can lead to penalties or financial issues. On the other hand, knowing the right VAT treatment can help charities make the most of their funds—such as through VAT refunds or tax-free supplies.
