On your VAT 201
Box 1 — Standard-rated supplies
Standard-rated supplies sit in Box 1. The 5% output VAT is added to your Box 8 total.
Strip VAT
A receipt shows AED 1,050 gross. Strip VAT to find the AED 1,000 net and AED 50 recoverable input VAT. Use this when expensing a supplier invoice.
Reverse-charge (RCM)
A non-resident supplier (think Stripe, Figma, AWS) sends you a US-dollar invoice with no VAT. UAE RCM rules require you to self-account 5% as Box 3 output VAT AND claim the same 5% as Box 10 recoverable input — net zero if fully recoverable, but both rows must appear on the return.
