Not affiliated with the FTA
Know Your Supplier is an independent commercial service of BQX Innovation Ltd. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, approved by or acting for the Federal Tax Authority, the Ministry of Finance or any other government body of the United Arab Emirates. "Know Your Supplier" and "KYS" are descriptive terms used by businesses and advisers. They are not official names, and this is not an official website.
Not tax or legal advice
Everything on this site is general information. It is not tax, legal, accounting or other professional advice, and it does not create an adviser and client relationship. We are not a registered tax agent. Speak to a registered tax agent or a lawyer about your own position before you act.
Read the official text
Our summaries of FTA Decision No. 13 of 2026 and the VAT law are based on publicly available sources and may be incomplete, out of date or wrong. The law, and how the FTA applies it, can change. Where this site differs from the official text or from FTA guidance, the official text and guidance apply. You can find them on the Federal Tax Authority website.
No promise of an outcome
Using this site, the calculator, the checklist or the dashboard does not guarantee that the FTA will accept a deduction of input VAT, and does not guarantee the outcome of any audit, assessment or dispute. Making and recording the checks remains your responsibility, and so does every decision to claim input VAT.
The calculator and the pictures
The threshold calculator gives a general indication only. The dashboard shown on this site uses sample data. The names in it are invented and do not refer to any real business or person. Features may change before or after release, and access is offered subject to availability and separate terms.
Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, BQX Innovation Ltd is not liable for any loss, penalty, rejected deduction or other cost that follows from relying on this site. Nothing here limits a liability that cannot be limited by law.
Links and sources
We link to third-party websites as sources. We do not control them and are not responsible for what they say.
