UAE workshops that are VAT-registered must charge VAT correctly, keep records, and file returns. This guide covers the basics and how software can help.
Taxable supplies and VAT rates
Most workshop services and parts are standard-rated. Ensure your invoices show VAT separately and use the correct rate. Software like GRX applies UAE VAT correctly on labour and parts so your invoices are compliant.
Records and reporting
Keep a clear record of taxable sales and purchases by period. Your system should be able to produce VAT reports for returns and audits. GRX's reporting is built for UAE workshops so you're ready for the FTA.
E-invoicing ahead
When the FTA mandates e-invoicing for B2B/B2G, your invoices will need to meet technical and format requirements. Using structured, digital invoicing now—as with GRX—makes the transition smoother.
