Do not pay VAT if your bill doesn't have these

Dubai: The tax authority wants the following elements to be compulsorily mentioned on the bill, that is the amount paid as Value Added Tax (VAT) and also the tax registration number of the establishment.

A tax invoice must include the name and address of the establishment. An invoice must have a sequential tax invoice number or a unique number and date of issue, which enables identification of the tax invoice and the order of the invoice in any sequence, the federal law says.
