The UAE has amended certain provisions of the Executive Regulation of the Federal Decree-Law on Value Added Tax (VAT), as part of its ongoing efforts to further develop the UAE's tax system to enhance tax transparency, improve the efficiency of implementation, and further align the VAT system with international best practices.
The UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF) announced that the total revenues collected from Value Added Tax (VAT) and Excise Tax and distributed to the federal and local governments exceeded AED46 billion ($12.53 billion) in 2025, up from approximately AED41 billion in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 15%.
