A VAT is an indirect tax charged on the final consumer for the consumption of goods and services being chosen by them. Most of the nations have understood and implemented it at a very fast speed. Out of those nations, UAE is the nation that has recently implemented the VAT process in its national pitch. VAT systems in the UAE not only affect the end-user, buyers and consumers but also have a broader impact on commercial institutions and businesses in the UAE.  So let’s have a look at the impact of VAT on the business entities in the UAE.
  • New Revenue Stream to the UAE Government- The new tax system allows an infusion of working capital in the economy and so boosts the stability of the economy. It overall improves the Gross Domestic Product that in itself is a sign of a healthy and developing economy.
  • Improved Infrastructure- Impact of VAT on the business entities not only increase the revenue stream of the government but also enhance the infrastructure of the country. A nation, either developing or developed requires ample expenditure on its infrastructure. The developing country engages its income in developing infrastructure whereas developed nation attempts to expand the same. So, being an added source to revenue, VAT will increase the investment horizons. 
  • Increased Business Efficiency- The initial rise in cost implementing VAT may disappoint the businesses to introduce it. However, certain long-term benefits can be derived from VAT implementation. As soon as VAT-compliant systems are installed, businesses will run far more resourcefully. This will gain a long-standing benefit from this streamlining exercise.
  • Non-Financial Benefits- With the introduction of VAT in UAE, the expenditures might inflate slightly. Nevertheless, on the counter end, there is an improved level of transparency in both the business and the economy.  Tax regulations bring many non-financial benefits to an economy such as enhanced liability management reducing the rate of civil fraud, corruption, waste, etc. The introduction of VAT plays a crucial role in enhancing the accountability and democracy of the government.
  • Distributed Costs- Although small companies, in particular, have the upfront implementation costs to consider, it’s the end-user who may hit the hardest by this VAT laws. While the process of collecting and submitting VAT lies with you, the cost occurred by business entities charged to the customer via sales channels. So, even at the comparatively low rate of 5%, it shouldn’t shake your bottom-line too much.

To avoid the complexities of newly implemented tax, many companies hire consultants to help them understand the laws, adapt their business and set up VAT compliant enterprise.
