The UAE VAT regime contains specific provisions applicable to real estate sector, which requires these businesses to perform detailed analysis of their past and existing contracts, and ongoing output (Zero rated, Standard and Exempt) and the input supply transactions, in order to assess the correct VAT treatment.

VAT applies differently on each type of real estate supplies and can be complex and challenging with varied VAT treatments based on the nature of supplies. It is equally critical to ensure accurate input VAT recovery, even though partial on purchases due to certain activities being exempt.

Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry will organize in cooperation with the Taxation Authority a seminar titled ‘Value Added Tax (VAT) in the Sultanate; Mechanisms of Implementation’ through its social media platforms on March 15, 2021.

The seminar would shed light on the mechanisms of implementation of VAT and tax compliance is aimed at acquainting the participants with the legal framework of VAT, to clarify the main concepts of VAT, the rules related to the transitional stage and how to prepare for it.

Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in cooperation with Al Tamimi & Co., organized a webinar offering businesses clarity and guidance on complying with existing Economic Substance Regulations in the UAE on 15th February, 2021.

A total of 390 participants joined the webinar, including business owners, managers and legal professionals. The session was led by Shiraz Khan, Partner, Head of Taxation; Noff Al-Khafaji, Senior Associate, Corporate Structuring; and Janet Gooi, Senior Associate, Tax at Al Tamimi & Company; who provided an overview of the economic substance regime, latest developments, compliance requirements and sanctions for non-compliance.

The UAE issued the Economic Substance Regulations in 2019, which was subsequently replaced by a new set of Economic Substance Regulations in 2020. Further updated guidance on the economic substance regime was issued by the Ministry of Finance to provide further clarification and help businesses comply with the regime in the UAE.Jehad Kazim, Vice President -Legal Services at Dubai Chamber, stressed on the importance of complying with existing economic substance regulations and noted that the webinar raised awareness about the matter.

The Federal Tax Authority(FTA) confirmed that several general Value Added Tax (VAT) rules apply to e-commerce transactions, in addition to a number of special VAT rules specifically applied to e-commerce transactions. E-commerce refers to the supplies of goods and services on digital platforms, via computers or mobile phones purchased from websites or electronic applications.

The workshop saw the participation of 225 accredited tax agents and a number of FTA officials. The FTA gave a presentation on how to apply VAT on the supplies of goods and services made within the e-commerce framework and how to calculate VAT on these supplies. The FTA also presented an overview of e-commerce, the principles of VAT on the supply of goods via e-commerce and the supply of electronic services, and the effects of VAT on electronic markets using practical examples. The presentation indicated that all goods and services purchased through online shopping sites are generally subject to 5% VAT if the place of supply is in the UAE. The tax is also applied to most of the goods that are sold inside the UAE; subject to some exceptions per the VAT legislation (such as medicines sold on websites). Additionally, the import of goods is subject to VAT.

His Excellency Khaled Ali Al Bustani, Director General of the FTA, stressed that the number of FTA accredited tax agents is increasing steadily, in line with the continuous growth of taxable persons within the tax system. H.E. Al Bustani said: “The number of accredited tax agents increased in the first 10 months of 2020 by more than 10% to 515, compared to 468 in the same period last year. This increase provides more opportunities for taxpayers wishing to deal with the FTA through tax agents by offering them an extensive, constantly-updated list of approved agents on the FTA’s website.”

A virtual workshop was organized for 213 accredited tax agents addressing the timespan for input tax recovery and redemption procedures.

Inquiries from participants were addressed and the procedures for recovering input tax incurred for specific expenses were clarified. The expenses include COVID-19 pandemic, marketing, entertainment expenses, vehicle expenses, and events beyond taxation control.

The Authority clarified that expenses pertaining to COVID-19, such as the sterilization of the workplace and the testing of employees, are under general expenses. Input tax is recoverable in the event that the supplies and services made by the business are themselves taxable. In case the business is making taxable supplies only, the input tax is fully refundable. However, in the event that the business is making taxable and tax-exempt supplies, the input tax will be partially refundable.  The FTA  indicated that input tax cannot be recovered on the expenses of testing employees’ families unless the employee bears the cost.

The representatives of the FTA  explained the tax procedures for deducting input tax in accordance with the reverse charge mechanism and the provisions related to the standard method for apportioning input tax. They discussed the technical aspects that could be misinterpreted and explained the legal principles, with application-based examples. Further, they presented the most common reasons for requesting further information with respect to applying to use of one of the special methods for apportioning input tax.

The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) of United Arab Emirates has announced that from November 2018 eligible tourists will be able to receive a proportion of the VAT as a refund when they shop at registered stores. The event is organised by FTA and their exclusive tax refund operator, Planet, who will be operating the Tourist Refund Scheme (TRS). The purpose of the event is to introduce the TRS and how you can offer tax free shopping to all eligible tourists in your shops.

With the introduction of VAT in the UAE since 1 January 2018, the UAE joins a long list of countries that have since introduced this tax. This course will look at the broad outline of the GCC/UAE VAT, as compared to other VAT systems in the world. It will seek to explain the structure and legal framework, and in particular will consider what might be considered ‘good’ VAT compliance, exemptions under the VAT regime and what pitfalls to be mindful of.

This practical workshop will provide valuable information about the UAE VAT Law and its impact on both the UAE and GCC.

Attendees will be given the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of the VAT regulatory environment and how the law is applied throughout the UAE including: onshore, free zones and the designated zones stipulated in the Cabinet Decision No. (59) of 2017 on Designated Zones for the purposes of the Federal Law No. (8) of 2017 on Value Added Tax.

The implementation of VAT on 1 January 2018 in the UAE has had a significant impact on the way of doing business in the emirate. Companies now need to comply with the VAT law and regulations.
