What a UAE VAT tax invoice should include
Under UAE VAT rules, a full tax invoice issued by a VAT-registered business should generally contain the following, so your customer can support their input VAT recovery:
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The words "Tax Invoice" | Clearly identifies the document as a VAT tax invoice |
| Supplier name, address & TRN | Identifies the VAT-registered seller (15-digit TRN) |
| Invoice number & date | A unique, sequential reference and the date of issue |
| Customer name, address & TRN | Needed for B2B supplies and the customer's input VAT |
| Description, quantity & unit price | What was supplied and at what rate |
| Taxable amount & VAT rate per line | The amount VAT is charged on, and the rate (5% / 0% / exempt) |
| VAT amount payable (in AED) | The VAT charged, shown in UAE Dirhams |
| Total & amount in words | The gross amount payable, clearly stated |
The UAE standard VAT rate is 5%, administered by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Supplies can be standard-rated (5%), zero-rated (0%) or exempt. Businesses must register for VAT once taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 (voluntary from AED 187,500). Always confirm the correct treatment for your goods or services before issuing.
How VAT is calculated on each line
VAT on a line = Rate × Qty × (VAT% ÷ 100). For example, 2 units at AED 1,000 at the standard 5% rate: taxable = AED 2,000.00, VAT = AED 100.00, line total = AED 2,100.00.
Zero-rated lines are taxable at 0% (no VAT charged but still reportable), while exempt lines carry no VAT. With a discount applied before tax, the discount reduces the taxable value first, then VAT is charged on the reduced amount.
Common VAT invoice mistakes
- Leaving out your TRNA tax invoice from a VAT-registered business shows the supplier's TRN, as the table above lists. Add it in the Your business section.
- Showing the VAT only in another currencyThe table above lists the VAT amount payable in AED. Pick AED in the currency menu when you invoice in the UAE.
- Marking exempt lines as zero-rated (or the other way round)Both show no VAT on the line, but they are treated differently. Our guide to VAT in the UAE explains the difference.
- Skipping or repeating invoice numbersEach tax invoice needs a unique number in one running series. Change the starting number to your next one before you download.

What is a tax invoice in the UAE?
A tax invoice is the document a VAT-registered business issues for a taxable supply. It must show the supplier's TRN, the VAT charged and the total payable, and supports the customer's input VAT recovery.
What is a TRN and how do I get one?
The Tax Registration Number (TRN) is a 15-digit number issued by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to a VAT-registered business. You apply for it through the FTA's EmaraTax portal once you meet the registration threshold.
What is the difference between zero-rated and exempt?
Zero-rated supplies are taxable at 0% — you charge no VAT but can usually recover input VAT. Exempt supplies are outside VAT entirely, and input VAT related to them generally cannot be recovered.
What is Place of Supply under VAT?
Place of supply is where a transaction is treated as taking place for VAT purposes. It determines whether and how UAE VAT applies, and is decided differently for goods and for services.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser; the invoice is generated locally on your device and nothing is sent to a server by this tool.
Can I add more than one item to the invoice?
Yes. Click Add item for each product or service and choose its VAT treatment. The taxable amount, VAT and total update as you add lines.
Can I add my logo to the invoice?
Yes. Use Upload logo in the Your business section. A PNG or JPG under 1 MB works, and square logos look best.
