Implementation of VAT on Individuals

The Ministry of Finance in UAE has adopted value added tax (VAT) on the majority of goods and services. The VAT implementation will increase the cost of living slightly but varies on the individual’s spending habits. If an individual spends mainly on those items for example in Dubai which are from Value added tax, won’t make much of a difference. This VAT implementation would require businesses to keep clean and organized tax records at all times.

Criteria for Registering For VAT

A business in Dubai or other Emirates must register for the value added tax (VAT) if its supplies and imports exceeds AED 375,000 in the last 12 months. It is voluntary for businesses whose supplies and imports surpass AED 187,500 per annum. A business household pays the government the tax that it collects from the customers. However, in VAT compliance you receive a refund from the government on tax that it has paid to its suppliers. Our VAT consultants will guide through the entire registration process without any obstruction.
