However, they must also count the cost of any free products or experiences they receive in return for their services, the FTA said.

Non-resident artists and influencers are also required to register for VAT while working in the UAE, provided that they are working for a non-registered recipient. If the company they are working for is VAT registered in the UAE, the artist or influencer will not need to register themselves.
