UAE VAT Refund Regime for Nationals: Key Eligibility, Qualifying Expenses, and Application Process

  • UAE nationals who build or commission the construction of their own residence can claim a VAT refund on certain construction expenses, subject to specific conditions.
  • The claim must be made by a natural person who is a UAE national and holds digital “Family Data.”
  • The refund applies only to newly constructed buildings used solely as a private residence for the claimant or their family.
  • Qualifying expenses include contractor services and building materials normally incorporated into the residence, but exclude removable appliances and furniture.
  • The Federal Tax Authority has issued updated guidance and requirements for the application and evaluation process.
