FEDERAL TAX AUTHORITY UPDATE: VAT IN UAE

 

EXECUTIVE REGULATIONS | AMENDED UAE VAT | EFFECTIVE 15 NOVEMBER 2024

 

 

The UAE  Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has circulated the Cabinet Decision No. (100) of 2024 (Decision), which amends the Executive Regulations of Federal Decree-Law No. (8) of 2017, effective from 15 November 2024.
 
The FTA has released the Arabic version of the Decision, and we expect the English version of the decision to be released soon this month.
 

What has changed?
 

The main changes, according to the preliminary information available, include:

  • VAT exemptions for the transfer of digital assets and cryptocurrencies, applied retroactively from January 1, 2018.
  • VAT exemptions for investment fund management.
  • New eligibility requirements for zero-rated export services.
  • Clarification on VAT treatment for single composite supplies.

 
The above stated alterations may have a substantial impact on your business operations, especially in industries connected to investment funds, digital assets, and export services. Chrysalis will offer a more detailed analysis in our forthcoming articles. 

 

What to expect next? 

  • Stay Informed: Be on the lookout for the English version of the amended regulations to be released by the FTA.
  • Evaluate the Impact: Conduct a comprehensive review of how these amendments could influence your business operations, particularly concerning investment funds, digital assets, and export services.
