The great Gulf Emirates UAE never had to think about imposing a levy for goods and services to generate robust government revenue due to their heavy dependence on income from the oil industry, which is almost 80%. Unfortunately, the story changed on January 1st of, 2018, when both Saudi Arabia and UAE decided to introduce the Value Added Tax system as an outcome of the unexpected oil price crisis and the realization that 21st-century economies need higher and reliable sources of revenue.

What Is Value Added Tax (VAT)? Tax is defined as a fee charged by the government on goods, services, income, and other transactions to finance public services and expenditures of the government. VAT is an indirect tax levied on the consumption or on the use of goods and services. The VAT system prevails in more than 150 countries, and it's a consumption-based tax where the tariff is charged on each step of the supply chain for the goods and services. The normal range of VAT is from 5% to 25%. In UAE, the standard rate of VAT is 5%; when the VAT was introduced, UAE expected to raise an amount of AED 12bn in the first year of 2018, and it reached a hype of AED 95.4bn in October 2021. VAT consultants in UAE argue that the Ministry of Finance UAE (MOFUAE) needs to strengthen its fiscal framework and reengineer the tax system reducing the dependence on oil revenue by boosting non hydrocarbon sources of revenues
HOW IS VAT CALCULATED? AS WE KNOW, VAT IS IMPOSED ON EACH STAGE OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN, AND THE STANDARD RATE (5%) WILL BE ADDED TO EACH SELLER AND BUYER. FOR EXAMPLE, AN ELECTRONIC GOODS PRODUCER WHO MANUFACTURES A MUSIC SYSTEM SELLS IT TO THE ELECTRONIC GOODS WHOLESALER FOR A PRICE OF AED 1000. ALONG WITH THE WHOLESALE PRICE, THE MANUFACTURER COLLECTS AN AMOUNT OF AED 50 FROM THE WHOLESALER FOR THE GOVERNMENT. SO, THE WHOLESALER HAS TO PAY A TOTAL AMOUNT OF AED 1050. THE WHOLESALER WILL ADD HIS PROFIT TO THE PRODUCT AND SELL IT TO A RETAILER FOR A PRICE OF AED 2000, AND HE WOULD CHARGE 5% VAT (AED 100) TO THE RETAILER ALONG WITH THE PRICE HE CHARGES. FINALLY, THE RETAILER MUST PAY AN AMOUNT OF AED 2100 FOR THE PHONE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE WHOLESALER RECEIVED A REFUND OF THE VAT HE PAID TO THE MANUFACTURER.
