During the tax period, all registered businesses must file a VAT return detailing their sales, purchases, output VAT, and input VAT paid. The amount received on sales is the output VAT, whereas the amount paid to the supplier for purchases/expenses is the input VAT. The amount of eligible input VAT that can be changed with the amount of output VAT will be allowed. The effect of altering the output VAT and input VAT will be one of the following scenarios.
VAT Payable: If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, the difference is VAT payable, which must be paid to FTA.
VAT Refundable: If the output VAT is less than the input VAT, the difference will be refunded as VAT.
In order to treat the excess input VAT, also known as VAT refundable, the taxpayer has two options:
A VAT refund is the reimbursement of the VAT that you paid on goods purchased in the UAE as a non-resident. If the product you bought included 5% of VAT, you can get the amount corresponding to this consumer tax paid back to you when you leave the territory.
One thing to keep in mind – get ready, some technicalities are coming your way – is that the VAT is calculated on the pretax base price of the item or service, NOT as a percentage of the final price.
