VAT
UAE is now part of the VAT implementing countries, the others being Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Bahrain. UAE and Saudi Arabia implement VAT from 01 st January
2018 and Bahrain joined in later, from 01 st January 2019.
So what changed for businesses?
- Ensuring that all requirements of the Federal law relating to VAT are complied with;
- Increase in back office costs;
- Streamlining of record keeping;
- More importantly, having a VAT consultant or advisor or inhouse associate who understands the law, without risks of any penalties due to non-
adherence.
This is where Zabeel management consultants come in. We look at every aspect of your business, right from Invoicing to delivery to collections and ensure that
not only are you are in compliance with the VAT law, but also all aspects, starting from documentation to filing of returns and payment of VAT are taken care
of, thereby freeing up your time to focus on things that you can do better.
With the implementation of VAT in UAE, there are many aspects that need to be clearly understood from a business stand point:
- When do you register for VAT?
- What is a standard rated supply?
- Which is an exempt supply?
- Which is a zero-rated supply?
- Industry specific implementation of VAT. For example, you own both a commercial property and residential property or a property part of which is for
commercial use and another for non-commercial (residential) use then how will you implement the VAT process?
