Following UAE’s decision to exempt gold and precious metals from the value-added tax, the maritime industry could also get a relief as the Federal Transport Authority is negotiating VAT exemption with the Federal Tax Authority, confirmed a senior official on Monday.

Hessa Al Malek, executive director of maritime transport at UAE’s Federal Transport Authority, said the meeting with the Federal Tax Authority will be held soon to discuss the issue.
