VAT in UAE
What are zero-rated and exempt supplies under UAE VAT?
- Zero-rated (0%): Export of goods/services, international transport, certain healthcare and education services.
- Exempt: Residential property (second sale onwards), bare land, and local passenger transport.
Businesses dealing in exempt supplies cannot claim input VAT recovery.
Can businesses recover input VAT on expenses?
- Yes, input VAT can be recovered if expenses are directly related to taxable supplies. However, VAT on employee-related benefits, entertainment, and motor vehicles (non-business use) is usually non-recoverable.
What are common errors businesses make in VAT return filing?
- Claiming ineligible input VAT
- Missing reverse charge mechanism on imports
- Late VAT return submission
- Misclassification of zero-rated vs exempt supplies
How does the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) work in UAE VAT?
- When importing goods or services, the buyer (not the supplier) is responsible for reporting VAT on the transaction. This ensures VAT is collected locally on cross-border trade.
How should businesses prepare for an FTA VAT Audit?
- Businesses should ensure proper record-keeping of invoices, contracts, tax credit notes, and VAT reconciliations for at least 5 years. Failure to provide complete documentation can result in heavy fines.
