What is VAT ?
The Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax levied on the sale of goods and services at every step of production or distribution. It is an essential component of the tax system, ensuring that companies positively impact the economy through their operations. VAT is levied at every point in the supply chain where value is added.
The fundamental objective of VAT is to generate money for the government transparently and equitably. VAT is a major source of revenue for the UAE government, funding public services and infrastructure projects.
VAT was established in the UAE on January 1, 2018, with a standard rate of 5%. This represented a substantial change in the country’s taxation environment, bringing the UAE in line with worldwide standards and broadening its income streams.
It ensures that businesses along the supply chain contribute to the national economy. Furthermore, VAT additionally fosters accountability and transparency in business transactions, resulting in a fair tax system in which businesses contribute equally.
VAT compliance is essential for businesses to avoid fines and operate efficiently within the legal structure.
