Value-Added Tax (VAT)

VAT is one of the most common consumption taxes around the world, with more than 150 countries applying a value-added tax (or equivalent: Goods and Services Tax), including all 29 member states of the European Union, plus Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Singapore and Malaysia.

VAT is a transaction tax that impacts on the full supply chain in real time, and requires that a business interact with those counterparts with which it contracts, whether with respect to procurement or sales.

VAT is levied at every stage of the “supply chain”. In general, the final consumer is the one who bears the cost of this tax while the business collects and calculates the tax, and thus assumes the role of tax collection for the government. The business pays the tax it collects from customers to the government, and the business may recover the tax it has paid to its suppliers. Thus, the net result of tax revenue received by the government is that “value added” through the stages of the supply chain.VAt the beginning of 2018, the government of UAE introduced Value Added Tax on goods and services in the country. The Ministry of Finance specified different category of tax rates on taxable transactions for various goods and services. Time to time Ministry of finance issued and added many clarification and guidance notes.
