Unlike income tax, it will reduce excessive consumption and encourage savings.

Essaar as a premier DWC approved auditor already has a track record in auditing many clients and business houses in Dubai.

VAT is expected to be introduced at a rate of 5% with some limited exceptions including basic food items, healthcare, and education. UAE Government is implementing VAT on 1 January 2018 and other GCC countries may do so at the same time.

While there are a number of challenges that still need to be addressed before it is introduced, VAT will help governments to deliver on long-standing plans for economic diversification away from oil, while still being able to deliver social and economic programmes.

Businesses will have to adapt to the changes by identifying the impact of VAT on their business, and key immediate considerations are to:

• Assess capability of existing systems
• Identify VAT implementation strategy
• Identify contracts that need a VAT action
• Identify intercompany transactions
• Undertake training / awareness

A potential VAT implementation will also have immediate effects on consumer behavior which gives opportunities for companies to assess their business direction and to plan strategically.

VAT will be introduced in the UAE in two phases. In phase one, companies with recorded revenue of more than AED 375,000/-  are obliged to register for VAT.  Also during phase one, companies with revenue between AED 187,000/- and AED 375,000/- will have the option to register for VAT. In phase two, all companies will have to Register for VAT, however, the date is still under discussion. This may indicate the manner in which other GCC countries will phase in VAT

Many businesses are under-prepared and I believe many underestimate the amount of work that needs to be done. VAT is a tax that affects all businesses. There are also some strategic decisions that need to be made in accounting, documentation, purchase, sales etc. Dealing with all this, especially the changes to the IT systems, takes time and the clock is ticking.

If businesses do not leave time to prepare, they risk not being able to comply with the law from day one and may find themselves facing problems with suppliers, customers, and unnecessary costs.

We can advise Clients on matters regarding VAT and its implication on your business. If you would like to discuss further please do not hesitate to contact us  on  Sathyan 050-4577027  / Raveendran 050-6748060.
