Value Added Tax (VAT) was introduced in the UAE on 1 January 2018. The rate of VAT is 5 per cent. VAT will provide the UAE with a new source of income which will be continued to be utilised to provide high-quality public services. It will also help government move towards its vision of reducing dependence on oil and other hydrocarbons as a source of revenue.z
Value Added Tax or VAT is a tax on the consumption or use of goods and services levied at each point of sale. VAT is a form of indirect tax and is levied in more than 180 countries around the world. The end-consumer ultimately bears the cost. Businesses collect and account for the tax on behalf of the government.
At the end of each tax period, VAT registered businesses or the ‘taxable persons’ must submit a ‘VAT return’ to Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
A VAT return summarizes the value of the supplies and purchases a taxable person has made during the tax period and shows the taxable person’s VAT liability.
VAT filing guards your business and gives a legal assurance and proof of your business existence.
VAT filing has an upper edge in the arena of tax payments thereby, avoiding financial loss, securing your business furthermore.
VAT compliance brings along with it a certain business goodwill. In fact, many large firms are often reluctant to conduct business with companies that aren’t VAT-registered.
You must file for tax return electronically through the FTA portal eservices.tax.gov.ae. Before filing the VAT return form on the portal, make sure you have met all tax returns requirements. For all kinds of VAT Filing in Dubai Alya can help you.
