5% VAT on invoices from Dubai Freezone, also to foreign companies?

[bigbite100]

Hello, I have read that Dubai Freezone have 0 tax except 5% VAT.

Is the 5% VAT always mandatory on invoices, regardless to which countries the bill goes to?

For example, if the Dubai Freezone company invoices a US LLC company, will the US LLC company still have to pay 5% VAT on the invoices?

Is there a way to legally avoid the VAT on the invoices?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you, but I am not sure if this‌ was answering my question. Registering for VAT is no problem. but does a US LLC‍ company need to pay VAT on the invoice or can the Dubai comany write VAT=0$⁠ ?

the answer was in the linked thread.

No the US LLC does not have to⁤ pay VAT and you do not have to pay it.
