UAE jewellery tax invoice format
A VAT tax invoice for jewellery shops in Dubai and across the UAE: your TRN, the customer's TRN for business buyers, each piece by karat, weight and AED rate per gram, making and stones, 5% VAT on the full value, old gold, and the amount in words. With a reverse-charge option for sales to registered dealers.
What must a UAE tax invoice for jewellery show?
A UAE tax invoice shows the words Tax Invoice; the supplier's name, address and TRN; the customer's name and address, and their TRN if they are VAT-registered; a sequential invoice number; the date of issue and the date of supply if different; a description, quantity and price of each item; the VAT rate and amounts in AED; any discount; and the total payable. Retail jewellery carries 5% VAT on metal, making and stones. A sale of gold or jewellery to a registered dealer who buys it for resale falls under the reverse charge, and the invoice says so.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is VAT charged on making charges in the UAE?
Yes. For jewellery sold to a consumer, VAT at 5% applies to the full value of the piece: metal, making and stones.
When does the reverse charge apply to gold and jewellery?
Since February 2025, Cabinet Decision No. 127 of 2024 applies the reverse charge to supplies of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, diamonds, pearls and other precious stones, and of jewellery whose precious content outweighs its other components, between VAT-registered businesses where the buyer intends to resell them or use them to make such goods. The seller charges no VAT and keeps the buyer's declaration; the buyer accounts for the VAT.
Does the invoice have to be in Arabic?
Many UAE shops issue tax invoices in English, and this format also carries the Arabic for Tax Invoice in its title. The Federal Tax Authority can ask for an Arabic translation of records, so check with your tax agent if you need a fully bilingual invoice.
Does this format meet the UAE e-invoicing rules?
No. E-invoicing will require invoices to be sent as structured data through an Accredited Service Provider, from 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more and from 1 July 2027 for others. A printed or PDF invoice is not an e-invoice.
