What is VAT Refund?
A VAT refund is the process that allows businesses and tourists to claim back the VAT paid on goods and services purchased. In the UAE, VAT-registered businesses can apply for a refund if the VAT they paid on purchases (input VAT) is greater than the VAT they collected on sales (output VAT). Similarly, foreign businesses or tourists who are not VAT-registered in the UAE may be eligible to claim VAT refunds on eligible purchases, subject to specific conditions.
VAT Refund for Businesses
If your business has incurred VAT on purchases, you may be entitled to a refund if the input VAT exceeds the output VAT. In cases where the refund is not immediately requested, businesses can carry the excess VAT forward to offset future tax liabilities or penalties.
Key Benefits for Businesses:
- Recovery of Excess VAT
If your business has paid more VAT on purchases than you’ve collected on sales, you can recover the difference. - Tax Optimization
Claiming VAT refunds ensures that your business is not overburdened with taxes and helps optimize your cash flow. - Long-Term Savings
A successful VAT refund can boost your business’s profitability by reclaiming taxes that were initially overpaid.
VAT Refund for Tourists
Tourists visiting the UAE can also benefit from VAT refunds. To be eligible, the following conditions must be met:
- Minimum Purchase
Tourists must spend a minimum of AED 250 on goods eligible for VAT refund. - Export Within 90 Days
Goods must be exported from the UAE within 90 days from the date of purchase. - Maximum Refund Limit
