UAE VAT
VAT Consultancy & Advisory
VAT looks simple at 5% — until real transactions meet place-of-supply rules, designated zones and mixed-use recovery. Our advisory desk untangles the hard cases.
The mechanics of VAT are straightforward for a single-market trader. They stop being straightforward the moment a business exports services, operates in a designated zone, supplies real estate, sells vouchers, arranges financing, or recovers VAT on costs serving both taxable and exempt activities. These edge cases carry real money, in both directions.
Taxspire’s VAT advisory covers exactly this territory: written treatment analyses for specific supplies, contract clause reviews before signature, recovery-position studies, health checks of past returns, and support with voluntary disclosures where errors need correcting on your terms rather than the FTA’s.
