Introduction

Training course introducion / brief

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a self-assessed tax that all organizations must apply to in the UAE. It is the responsibility of all companies to put into place the correct systems, processes and controls to ensure that VAT on relevant transactions is recorded and reported accurately on a timely basis.

This training course is designed to provide participants with the necessary knowledge on the GCC framework and the concept of VAT within GCC countries particularly in the UAE. This course will focus on topics such as the scope of VAT, import and export of goods and services, concept of designated zone and VAT implications, tax period, returns, payment and recovery of tax. This course will look at the broad outline of the GCC/UAE VAT, as compared to other VAT systems in the world. It will seek to explain the structure and legal framework, and in particular will consider what might be considered 'good' VAT compliance, exemptions under the VAT regime and what pitfalls to be mindful of.
