Implications of VAT in UAE for businesses?

Implications of VAT in UAE for the businesses?


UAE is one of the gulf countries where Value Added Tax will be imposed on businesses as announced by the ministry of Finance UAE. So far there is no draft legislation for VAT in the country, it may be a bit premature for businesses to start implementing any significant changes in the mode of doing business in the UAE.

However, the following aspect could be kept in mind to be prepared for dealing with Vat implementation:

  • Obtaining understanding of VAT regulations
  • Updating the accounting software systems and invoice templates to meet with the VAT provisions
  • Training of the existing employees (accounting /finance staff) as regard to VAT compliance and reporting
  • Hiring of new resources with increased work load
  • Hiring appropriate levels of consultants for adhering to increased compliance requirements and fillings
  • Maintenance of appropriate books of accounts and records
  • Looking at the terms of long terms contracts already executed to assess the implications of VAT
  • Assessing increased cost implications on sales and revenue
  • Reviewing implication of free zones trading with mainland companies in UAE
  • Keeping in view compliance deadlines and any possible audits imposed by the regulatory authority.
