The National Bureau for Taxation (NBT) today announced that a tax exemption logo (VAT FREE) will be distributed across various establishments in order to place the logo on goods and services that are not subject to VAT. This new measure builds on the government’s efforts to strengthen consumer protection and transparency, ensuring the correct implementation of VAT.

NBT stressed the importance of the various establishments to adopt this measure, making sure the logo is clear and visible to consumers. In this regard, the NBT further stressed the importance of clearly placing the VAT certificate of registration that entitles these entities to collect VAT on products and services that are subject to it.
