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) implemented a Value Added Tax (VAT) system on January 1, 2018. VAT is applicable to most goods and services provided in the country, including those in Dubai. It is imposed on the final consumption of goods and services, and all residents and citizens in Dubai are subject to VAT unless they fall under specific exemptions or thresholds set by the UAE tax authorities.
However, please note that tax regulations can change over time. It's always a good idea to consult the latest information from official sources or seek professional advice for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding VAT in Dubai.
