Value Added Tax and its impact on Contracts

Dealing with Contracts in VAT Environment

With VAT in our home countries and the moderate rate of 5% is unlikely to act as a deterrent to investment in the UAE. However, it is interesting to see how the VAT will impact the contracts.

These contracts may or may not have any provision for recouping any direct or indirect costs levied under the new tax legislation. As such for contracts without adequate provisions for recouping costs, the costs will likely be absorbed into the project accounts which could potentially result in loss making projects where profit was once forecast. On the other hand, if contracts have sufficient provision to enable contractors to recover costs from employers, there may be a rise to legitimate claims for VAT on top of historic payment entitlement. With six months to go, it is advisable for contractors and subcontractors to get their contracts reviewed.
