Yes, VAT is applicable to all citizens in Dubai. Value Added Tax or VAT is a tax on the consumption or use of goods and services. A VAT of 5 per cent is levied at the point of sale. Businesses collect and account for the tax on behalf of the government. VAT was introduced across the UAE on 1st January 2018 at a standard rate of 5%.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), including Dubai, introduced a value-added tax (VAT) on January 1, 2018. VAT is applicable to most goods and services provided in the country, including those in Dubai. However, it is important to note that tax regulations can change over time, so it's advisable to check with the local authorities or consult the latest official sources for the most up-to-date information regarding VAT in Dubai or any other jurisdiction.
