VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)

Introduction of VAT in the UAE

Starting from 1st January 2018, the UAE Government will be introducing Value Added Tax (VAT) at a standard rate of 5%. VAT is charged on all taxable supplies of goods and services provided locally, except those specifically zero-rated or exempted. Our systems will be designed to ensure that VAT is charged, collected and deposited in accordance with VAT legislation.
