UAE VAT (5%) implications for Dubai landlords — when it applies (commercial vs residential, short-term vs long-term), registration thresholds, and what you pay vs what you can reclaim.
Property type
Residential rentals are 0% VAT. Commercial = 5% VAT.
VAT registration status
✓ Mandatory VAT registration
Annual rent ≥ AED 375,000 — registration with FTA is required by law.
VAT is collected from the tenant and remitted to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) quarterly. Landlords reclaim input VAT on related expenses.
