VAT on Construction Services in UAE: Compliance Tips for Contractors Dubai
- Location: Dubai, Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Since January 2018, the UAE has applied a 5% VAT (Value Added Tax) on most goods and services. For the construction industry, where projects are big, costly, and often run over months or even years, VAT on construction services in UAE plays a huge role. Construction services such as new builds, renovations, consultancy, subcontracted work, and even repair or maintenance usually fall under VAT, which makes it important for everyone in the sector to understand how it works.
Because construction projects involve large sums of money and strict timelines, even a small mistake in VAT treatment can cause financial losses, rejected tax claims, or penalties. That’s why VAT compliance is not just about following the rules, it’s about protecting your business. This guide is designed for contractors, developers, subcontractors, consultants, and property owners.
