VAT Law in Gulf Cooperation Council(GCC)

 

Value-added tax (VAT) is a tax on the value added at each stage of production and distribution of goods and services. The application of VAT law in Arab countries varies depending on the specific country and its legislation. However, some commonalities exist among Arab countries.

Firstly, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) have implemented a VAT system with a standard rate of 5%. The implementation of VAT in these countries began on January 1, 2018. The GCC VAT law is based on the Unified VAT Agreement, which sets out the framework for VAT implementation in the region.

In addition, other Arab countries have also implemented VAT systems, such as Egypt and Morocco, with VAT rates of 14% and 20%, respectively.

It is important to note that the application of VAT in Arab countries may differ from the European Union (EU) VAT system. For example, some Arab countries may exempt certain goods or services from VAT, while others may have different VAT rates for certain goods or services.

Furthermore, some Arab countries may have different VAT registration and reporting requirements. For example, in Saudi Arabia, businesses with an annual turnover exceeding SAR 375,000 are required to register for VAT, while in the UAE, the threshold for mandatory VAT registration is AED 375,000.

Overall, VAT law in Arab countries varies depending on the specific country and its legislation. Businesses operating in Arab countries should seek expert advice to ensure compliance with local VAT regulations.
