VAT Impact on Business

All businesses have to carefully record their business income, costs, assets, liabilities and associated VAT charges irrespective of the size of the operations.

Registered businesses and traders will charge VAT at the prevailing rate on all of their sale of goods and services (output tax) and incur VAT on goods/services that they buy from suppliers (input tax). The difference between these sums is considered as refundable tax or VAT payable to the government.

The VAT reporting is done on a regular basis through filing of VAT returns monthly, quarterly, annually or for any other period that has been confirmed by FTA in VAT registration certificate of the business.

Indirect Tax: Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax. It is a type of general consumption tax that is collected based on the value added at each stage of production or distribution/sales. It is usually implemented as a destination-based tax. It is also known as goods and services tax (GST) in some countries.

VAT registered businesses must report the amount of VAT they have charged and the amount of VAT they have paid on purchases and expenses to Federal Tax Authority (FTA).

Difference Between VAT and Sales Tax.

Both the VAT and sales tax are consumption taxes, however, there are some key differences:

VAT :

It applies on each level from the point of manufacturing to the final sale. It is collected from both goods and services. Moreover, it also applies to imports as well.

Sales tax:

It is applied only to the final sale of goods from consumers. It is not charged  at each step of production.

Usually, VAT is preferred over sales tax because it helps reduce tax evasion and ensures that businesses act as an intermediate body for tax collection.

 

VAT-related Responsibilities of Businesses

All the businesses in the UAE need to maintain correct financial records. Businesses that meet the minimum cash requirement must register for VAT. Moreover, if any business is not VAT-registered, it is still important to keep its financial records. In the future who knows they plan to register themselves.

Many Businesses calculate VAT based on the following two types of taxes:

  • Output Tax: VAT is collected from the customers on different sales of goods and services.
  • Input Tax: VAT will be paid on the purchase of raw materials or services for many different business operations.

The formula for VAT assessment is:

VAT = Output Tax – Input Tax

VAT is calculated by subtracting the output tax from the input tax.
