VAT Invoice Format
FTA has defined a VAT invoice format in UAE. How to prepare VAT invoice in UAE is a very important question and task for all the business. A VAT invoice must have Tax Registration Number (TRN).
All the businesses must follow the format of VAT invoice issued by FTA otherwise they will get the VAT fines and penalties.
According to the FTA, there will be two kinds of invoices for VAT in UAE, Supply for less than the specified amount will be considered to maintain a simplified VAT invoice – specifically for supermarkets and retail industry. However, supply for more than the specified amount will have to make a detailed invoice.
Simplified VAT invoice for supply less than the specified amount should consider the below:
- “Tax invoice” in a prominent place
- Name, address & TRN of supplier
- Date of issue
- Description of goods or services
- Total amount payable
- Total VAT chargeable
The VAT invoice for supplies above than the specified amount should consider the below:
- “Tax invoice” in a prominent place
- Name, address & TRN of supplier
- Name, address & TRN of recipient (where they are a registrant)
- A sequential or unique identifying number
- Date of issue
- Date of supply if different to the date of issue
- Description of goods or services
- Unit price, quantity or volume supplied, rate of tax and amount payable in AED
- Value of any discount offered
- Gross value payable in AED

Is it necessary to give the total horizontally? or we can design our invoice showing total vertically (Gross Amount Total, VAT Total & Net Total). I have searched all government guidelines and they have mentioned only required fields, no matter what is the design of invoice.
Just follow the guidelines and mention all the points on the invoice required by the FTA regardless the design of an invoice.

Are we allowed to raise consolidated invoices for the month, for example I usually practice raising invoices on 31st for material supplied from 1st-31st. Is this practice allowed or will I have to raise invoices weekly/bi-weekly?
You can raise a consolidated invoice by mentioning the amount of VAT and the VAT percentage collected on each material supplied.

Sir Kindly clarify these points;
1. For commercial invoice or shipping invoice, do we need to put “TAX INVOICE” ?
2. For invoicing in other currencies like US dollar is it mandatory for the invoice to be in AED? Or we proceed with USD and later part in filing for vat return just to convert it to AED?
1. Yes, you need to put ‘tax invoice’
2. Invoice must be in Dirham (AED)
Thank you
Sir,
Do we have to raised tax invoice on gross value or net value in construction company???
Gross Value -Advance -Retention=Net Value
Which amount will be charged for VAT??
Gross or net
What if I dont want to issue VAT to my client what should I do?
but your supplier will charge you VAT and you will pay it from your own pocket and it will be a loss for you as well as a risk of getting penalties and fines because you are not collecting tax from your clients on behalf of the government and it is against the Law.

Can we claim back the tax paid to our suppliers in the old name.(thomas&james LLC in place of T&J LLC)

Yes you can, but you should have LPO or service request for the prior period along with the delivery note which indicates the time of service delivery. (The time of service delivery must be clearly stated in the invoice.)

Hi sir, We have some suppliers who submit the service related invoices, these invoices do not have any QTY- as this is understood that QTY is 1.00 in case of service.
Should be insist the supplier to submit invoice mentioning the QTY ?

how to manage school account for vat? we have zero rated fees, transport fee (exempt) and some other fee (standard rated). how to make tax invoice? and then submit these records?
Please share your contact details and one of our VAT specialists will contact you.
Thank you
You need to segregate and mention the VAT rate in each invoice, if it is rated then you must mention 5% and if it is zero rated, then you must mention 0%. If it is exempt then mention that it is exempted. And then submit to FTA.
For more information, Feel free to contact us.
