The GGC countries have implemented the anticipated Value Added Tax (VAT) of 5% on all goods and services from January 1^st, 2018. UAE has actively proposed government entities and practices for a smooth VAT implementation in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other major emirates. The VAT registration framework is quite parallel to the existing structure in European Union (EU). This is due to the rising economic transactions and regulations between the EU states and GCC Members. The VAT regulations are highly complex in terms of transactions and recordkeeping. The UAE Federal Tax Authority have designed an online portal for hassle-free VAT registrations for all businesses. The businesses all over UAE are in high-demand of expert tax agents and consultants to undertake the entire VAT implementation procedure.
