UAE VAT Registration Services for Indian Businesses

Vat registration in the uae services
 

The United Arab Emirates Government introduced Value Added Tax (VAT) on 1st January 2018 with a standard rate of 5% on all goods and services in the country. Businesses in UAE including those managed by Indian entrepreneurs or investors can benefit from VAT registration to recover certain costs related to this tax.

 

We get many queries related to VAT. Below are some of the most common questions we get from our clients based in India and abroad.

 

VAT is an indirect tax on goods and services, similar to consumption tax in many countries. It is a comprehensive, multi-stage consumption tax that applies throughout the supply chain and is collected by registered businesses on behalf of the government. Ultimately the VAT burden falls on the consumer, who is the end user and not on the businesses themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

The UAE entity must assess its taxable supplies and imports against the UAE mandatory and voluntary registration thresholds. The nationality of its owners does not change the registration test.

No. UAE VAT and Indian GST are separate tax systems with different registration, invoicing, place-of-supply and filing rules. Transactions between the two countries must be reviewed under both relevant regimes.

The treatment depends on the parties, contractual flow, place-of-supply rules and whether the service qualifies for zero-rating. Each cross-border service arrangement should be reviewed before invoicing.

A VAT-registered UAE business may recover eligible input tax when the costs support taxable activities and valid tax invoices and payment evidence are retained.

Keep contracts, transfer documentation, tax invoices, customs records, proof of export or import, payment evidence and calculations supporting the VAT treatment applied to related-party transactions.
