What is a Taxable Supply?
A taxable supply is a provision of goods or services made by an entity in the UAE that may be subject to tax at a rate of either 5% or 0% to determine if a registration obligation is present. For this reason, imports are also taken into account if a supply of hose products or services would be taxable if it were made domestically in the UAE.
