• VAT came into play in UAE in January 2018 notifying the business owners to deliver a small percentage of their goods and services of their business to the government. Though it was not well received initially, largely due to plenty of confusion. But with mediators like us assisting in business setup and company formation that is no longer an issue.
• Value Added Tax is an indirect consumption tax that is applied to any products and services which is later claimed by the government. It is basically an additional revenue used for the welfare of the community. VAT came into play for improving the public sector in UAE thereby requiring the investors to register officially for VAT. Neglecting this rule can result in fines and penalties and therefore we at Pro Corporate solutions take the necessary precautions so that such a scenario does not occur for your business we help setup.
• A few elements that are crucial to be kept in mind are that not every company needs to pay VAT and it is only required to be paid by a business enterprise that has an import and export taxation above 375,000 AED. Even when your company does exceed there are exceptions to the goods and services that require VAT and with the help of our VAT specialists we make sure you don’t ever overpay.
