VAT Refund for UAE Tourists under Tourist Refund Scheme
To reassure the tourists visiting the UAE to shop tax-free, Federal Tax Authority (FTA) issued Cabinet Decision No. (41) of 2018 introducing Tax Refund for Tourists Scheme (the “Scheme”). Incorporating state-of-the-art digital technology, the FTA’s Tourists Refund Scheme allows eligible tourists to reclaim Value Added Tax (VAT) incurred on purchases they have made whilst in the UAE, subject to conditions and limitations stipulated in the issued Cabinet Decision no. 41 and additional rules to be issued in the future.
