Under the new UAE VAT regime, registered taxpayers need to maintain UAE VAT Purchase Register in order to calculate their Input Tax.

According to Article 54 of VAT LAW:

“A registered person is liable to recover input tax paid on the purchase of goods and services intended for the furtherance of business except for capital goods.”

For the purchase of raw material or buying goods for resale or imports, you will pay an amount of VAT.

When you make sales, you will collect the VAT on the goods or services you supply.

At the end of the month, you will pay the difference between VAT paid and VAT collected.

Article 53 UAE VAT Law states that:

“The Payable Tax for any Tax Period shall be calculated as being equal to the total Output Tax payable pursuant to this Decree-Law and which has been done in the Tax Period less the total Recoverable Tax by said Taxable Person over the same Tax Period.”
