Al Madina’s published terms state that 5% VAT applies. A quotation should clearly say whether the displayed rental rate includes VAT or whether VAT is added separately. Ask for a tax invoice showing the taxable amounts and VAT instead of assuming that an advertised figure is the final payable total.
