Introduction to VAT Advisory Services

VAT stands for value added tax and it is a tax that is deducted on the value added to a product. It is being applied since the 1^stof January, 2018 and all products and services have been affected by the tax except education, health care and food items. Normally, the end user is affected by the introduction of VAT however, keeping in mind the price elasticity demand and supply forces of the market, business have to make certain changes as well to meet the legal requirements.

For every entity with a trade license Dubai and revenue of over AED 375,000 annually, registration for VAT is necessary through online form submission. This has to be done within 30 days of being required to register with the authorities. However, if the annual revenue is less than AED 375,000 or more than AED 187,500 the registration will be voluntary or optional.

Why VAT in UAE?

The VAT has been introduced in the UAE in order to increase revenue of the government. The government has been planning on providing even better facilities to people in the UAE. With no taxes coming from the free zone companies and other businesses with a trade license Dubai, the government had to arrange for revenue generation to meet the increasing government spending that was becoming a necessity. The VAT will allow the government to provide better medical facilities, meet increased transportation infrastructure costs, meet the costs of increasing population and develop areas that were still undeveloped.

What will be the impact of VAT on your Business?

With every regulation, every business setup in Dubai is affected. The same has happened for the businesses which were required to register for the VAT with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Businesses which have revenue higher than AED 375,000 annually will have to show the collection of VAT and provide the proof of financial transactions to the authorities for verification of eligibility of VAT deduction. The business setup in Dubai, which tries to transfer the costs of the VAT to the clients and customers, will have to increase charges and prices so that the profit and revenue remains the same after tax is deducted. This may or may not cause them to lose customers and clients depending on the nature and elasticity of the product or service in question.
