UAE Nationals Villa VAT Refund Service
UAE nationals building a new home for personal use may be eligible for a VAT refund for new residence UAE under the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) scheme. The refund allows recovery of VAT incurred on eligible construction costs, helping reduce the overall cost of home ownership.
The refund generally covers VAT paid on qualifying goods and services directly related to the construction of a new residence, including contractor services, building materials permanently incorporated into the property, and certain professional fees. However, VAT on furniture, appliances, landscaping, or other non-qualifying costs may not be recoverable.
A successful villa VAT refund application requires compliant tax invoices, proof of payment, identification documents, and supporting evidence that the property is a new residence built for personal use. Missing documents or non-compliant invoices can delay processing or reduce the refund amount. CLA Emirates helps organize records, prepare schedules, and manage FTA correspondence to maximize the VAT refund for new residence UAE while maintaining full compliance with regulatory requirements.
CLA Emirates supports clients through every stage of the Emirati home construction VAT refund process, from eligibility assessment and invoice review to preparation and submission of the villa VAT refund application.
