VAT Group Amendment

VAT Group Amendment in UAE

As per Article (14) of Federal Decree-Law No. (8) of 2017 on Value Added Tax, two or more persons conducting businesses may apply for tax registration as a tax group. Such businesses will be treated as a single taxable person for VAT purposes and submit just one VAT return each period. Where any circumstance arise that will impact your tax records kept by the FTA, as provided during your registration, you must inform the FTA by updating your records within the prescribed time in the FTA's online portal. One of the main benefit of registering as a VAT group is because the supplies between the members are not considered as a VAT, therefore the VAT isn’t applicable.
