From Jan 2018, VAT is all set to be implemented in UAE. It is necessary for businesses to get ready for VAT compliances.
Businesses will have to maintain records, collect and pay VAT, the filing of VAT returns etc. all in accordance with the VAT Law.
Let us understand the above with the help of an example.
You purchase good from a distributor.
Distributor Price – AED 10,000.
5 % VAT Paid – AED 500.
Purchase price – AED 10,500.
Now you sell the above goods to your customers.
Your Price – AED 11500.
5 % VAT Collected – AED 575.
Your Sale Price = 12075.
How to Calculate UAE VAT Payable?
VAT collected – VAT paid = VAT Payable
AED 575 – AED 500 = AED 75
Thus AED 75 is your payable amount to FTA.
