Value Added Tax (VAT) has become an integral part of the UAE’s tax system since its introduction in 2018. It affects both businesses and individuals, so it’s important for everyone to understand how it works. Two important parts of VAT are reimbursement and disbursement—these processes help people manage their tax payments and stay compliant with the law.

In simple terms, VAT reimbursement allows businesses and eligible individuals to recover VAT paid on expenses related to their operations, while VAT disbursement involves recovering exact amounts paid on behalf of clients without additional VAT charges.
