VAT for businesses in Abu Dhabi
VAT in Abu Dhabi follows the same federal rules as the rest of the UAE: a 5% standard rate, mandatory registration above AED 375,000 of taxable supplies and returns due within 28 days after the end of the tax period. The local business mix creates its own questions. Abu Dhabi has a large number of contractors for government entities, oil and gas suppliers, construction and engineering companies, and financial firms based in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The advisors listed above are located in Abu Dhabi and offer VAT services.
Typical VAT questions in Abu Dhabi
Government contracts and long projects
Contractors often invoice in stages over many months. The tax point of each supply decides in which return the VAT falls. Contract terms, retention amounts and variation orders can move the timing, and a consultant helps you apply the rules consistently across a project.
Oil, gas and energy suppliers
Certain supplies in the oil and gas sector are zero-rated, for example crude oil and natural gas, while many services around them are standard-rated. Companies that supply both need to separate the two in their records so input tax is recovered correctly.
ADGM companies
Companies licensed in ADGM register for VAT with the FTA in the same way as mainland companies and file through the same portal. Financial services often include a mix of exempt supplies, such as margin-based products, and taxable fees, so the recoverable share of input tax has to be calculated.
Construction and real estate
The first sale or lease of a newly built residential building within three years of its completion is zero-rated. Later residential supplies are exempt and commercial property is standard-rated. Developers who sell several unit types need a clear method to apportion costs.
What to prepare before you contact a consultant
- Trade licence and the Tax Registration Number if you already have one.
- Sales and purchase invoices for the period you want reviewed.
- Contracts for projects that are invoiced in stages.
- Customs documents for imports and exports.
- Copies of earlier returns and any correspondence from the FTA.
Choosing among Abu Dhabi VAT consultants
- Ask for experience in your sector, since the VAT treatment differs between contracting, energy, finance and trading.
- Check if the firm is an FTA registered tax agent when you want it to act for you.
- Agree who files the return and who responds to FTA questions.
- Ask for the fee per return and what happens when the FTA opens an audit.

Frequently asked questions
Do government contractors in Abu Dhabi charge VAT?
Generally yes. A supply to a government body is standard-rated unless a specific zero-rating or exemption applies. Check the contract wording and the nature of the supply.
Does an ADGM company need to register for VAT?
Yes, when it meets the registration thresholds. ADGM does not exempt a company from federal VAT.
Can I use an Abu Dhabi consultant if my company is in Dubai?
Yes. VAT is registered by legal entity, and consultants can work remotely with your accounting records.
