Though VAT implementation is a new tax system in UAE, it is widely accepted in different parts of the world. It is to note that more than 150 countries are already following the value added tax system. We believe the decision to implement VAT would cause exemplar shift in the business crescendos of the nation as well as the region. Similar to most of the countries across the world, businesses in the Gulf region also will now have to adhere to stringent VAT regulatory and statutory compliances and report the same on a periodic basis. The challenge for the business community in the Gulf will be to understand the new VAT Law and implement the same well before the due date.Small Business Accounting Services is a full service tax, payroll, bookkeeping, accounting and business consulting firm UAE.

The significance is that each VAT registered business entity becomes automatically the agent of the government to collect from customers and pay it back to the Government Authority. VAT is charged at each stage of the ‘supply chain’. Ultimate consumers generally bear the VAT cost. The Businesses act as tax collector for the government authorities. The difference between the VAT charged on customers and the VAT paid to suppliers will be either paid to or reclaimed from the government.
As per the official site of Ministry of Finance, UAE, it is expected that majority of the business entities will be required to file the VAT returns on quarterly basis, within one month/28 days from the end of the respective quarter.
All business entities in UAE:
a) Registered for UAE VAT or not should maintain proper records of their business transactions and ensure that all financial records are accurate and up to date.
b) Should register under UAE VAT if they are coming under eligibility criteria based on turnover.
c) All UAE VAT registered business entities should charge VAT on supply of taxable goods or services.
d) All UAE VAT registered business entities may reclaim any VAT they have paid on goods or services within the country.
e) Should maintain correct and accurate business records for government scrutiny to ensure that that business entities adhere to the mandatory requirement stipulated by the UAE VAT Law.
f) All VAT registered business entities must report the amount of VAT they collected and the amount they paid to the government on a regular basis. The Tax authority will open an online portal for submitting this record on a periodic basis (called VAT return).
If VAT charged on customers is more than the amount charged by the supplier and service providers, then the excess amount collected has to be paid to the VAT authority. Similarly, if the amount of VAT on the purchases and service providers are more than the amount charged on customers, the refund can be claimed for the difference.
As per the information available from media, the UAE government is not considering of introducing personal income tax in the country.
