Formula
Tax added to a price is the price times 5 divided by 100. The total is the price plus that tax.
Tax removed from a price that already includes it is the price divided by 1 plus the rate. The tax is the difference between the price you typed and the net.
This estimate uses the standard rate only. Some goods and services are reduced, zero-rated, or exempt.
Add: tax = amount × rate / 100. Remove: net = amount / (1 + rate / 100).
- amount The price you type, either before tax or including it.
- rate The standard VAT rate for United Arab Emirates, 5%. It is fixed on this page.
Worked example
A price of AED 100.00 before VAT at 5% adds AED 5.00 of tax. The total is AED 105.00.
Removing VAT from AED 105.00 leaves a net of AED 100.00.
