VAT Compliance for UAE Online Sellers
E-commerce businesses in the UAE face unique VAT challenges: selling through multiple channels (own website, Amazon, Noon), handling international orders, managing digital invoices at scale, and keeping track of returns and refunds. Whether you're a small online store or a large marketplace seller, proper VAT compliance is essential. UAE VAT applies to local sales, while exports outside the GCC are zero-rated—but you need proper documentation to prove export status.

E-Commerce VAT FAQs
Is VAT charged on international orders?
Exports outside the GCC are zero-rated (0% VAT) if you have proof of export such as shipping documents and customs declarations. Local UAE deliveries are charged 5% VAT.
Do I charge VAT on Amazon/Noon sales?
Yes, VAT is charged on all UAE sales. The marketplace may collect and remit VAT on your behalf in some cases, but you're still responsible for compliance.
Can I claim VAT on marketplace commissions?
Yes, if Amazon, Noon, or other platforms charge you fees with VAT, you can claim this as input VAT with proper tax invoices.
How do I handle VAT on returns?
Issue a tax credit note for the returned amount. This reduces your output VAT for the period. Compliance Copilot tracks this automatically.
