Dubai’s Parkin announces 5 per cent VAT on public parking fees and subscriptions

Parkin has announced that a 5 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) will be applied to all public vehicle parking services provided by the company starting from June 1, 2026, in line with the regulatory requirements and tax laws in force in the UAE.

The company stated that the VAT will cover its full range of parking-related services across Dubai, including on-street and off-street public parking facilities, seasonal parking subscriptions, parking permits, and reservation services. As a result, motorists and subscribers will see a slight increase in parking charges once the new tax implementation takes effect. 

Parkin said the move is part of its compliance with the UAE’s federal tax regulations and reflects the company’s commitment to adhering to all applicable legal and financial frameworks. Customers are encouraged to review updated pricing details and service charges ahead of the implementation date.

The announcement comes as Dubai continues to enhance and regulate public parking services to support growing urban mobility needs while maintaining transparency in service fees and operational policies across the emirate.

As a key partner in Dubai’s growth and long-term mobility ambitions, Parkin remains committed to transparency and delivering best-in-class parking solutions for residents and visitors. The Company continues to ensure its services are fully aligned with applicable regulatory requirements while supporting the city’s evolving transportation landscape.
