How is VAT charged on gold jewellery in the UAE?
In the UAE, a retail sale of gold or diamond jewellery is charged VAT at 5% on the full value of the piece: the metal value, the making charges and any stones. Investment-grade gold of 99% purity or more can be zero-rated, and sales between VAT-registered dealers who buy for resale fall under the reverse charge, where the buyer accounts for the VAT instead of the seller. A VAT-registered jeweller issues a tax invoice showing the shop's TRN, the date, a sequential number, the value before tax, the VAT and the total in AED. Infovion JMS works out the metal value from weight and karat, adds making and stone charges, applies 5% VAT and prints the tax invoice with your TRN.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Infovion JMS be used by a jewellery shop in Dubai?
Yes. We choose the United Arab Emirates when we set up your shop and JMS sets the currency to AED, VAT to 5%, the purities to 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K, and the time zone to Gulf Standard Time. The invoice is titled Tax Invoice and shows your TRN. The same applies to shops in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain.
Is VAT charged on making charges in the UAE?
Yes. For jewellery sold to a consumer, the making charges are part of the price of the piece, and VAT at 5% applies to them along with the metal and stones. JMS charges 5% on both by default. The rates can be changed in Settings if your tax adviser says otherwise.
Does JMS support the UAE e-invoicing system?
Not yet. The UAE is introducing electronic invoicing in phases, mainly for business-to-business invoices, sent through an Accredited Service Provider. Businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more start on 1 January 2027 and other in-scope businesses on 1 July 2027. JMS prints VAT tax invoices today. Please check the Ministry of Finance e-invoicing portal for the rules that apply to your shop.
How much does Infovion JMS cost in the UAE?
₹9,999 per shop, roughly AED 390 at recent exchange rates, then an AMC of ₹3,999 a year. Every feature, unlimited staff accounts, invoices and tags are included. We can invoice you in AED or US dollars on request.
Which tag printers and scanners work in the UAE?
Any thermal label printer with a Windows or macOS driver, such as TSC, Zebra or Argox models, with jewellery tag rolls of 100 × 15 mm or similar, and any USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner. A phone or tablet camera also works for occasional scans.
Where is my shop's data stored?
Each shop's data is kept separate and is visible only to that shop's accounts. It is hosted in Singapore, the closest region offered by our cloud provider, and the owner can download a full backup at any time.
Does JMS handle the reverse charge on gold between dealers?
Partly. For a sale to a VAT-registered dealer buying for resale, VAT can be switched off for the bill, and the reverse-charge statement is added by hand. Since February 2025 the reverse charge covers gold, silver, platinum, palladium, precious stones and jewellery whose precious content dominates (Cabinet Decision No. 127 of 2024).
Does JMS help with AML rules for UAE jewellers?
JMS keeps each customer's ID, stored encrypted, and the payment method on every bill, which helps with customer due diligence. It does not prepare or file DPMSR reports on goAML, which dealers file for cash transactions of AED 55,000 or more.
