VAT is expected to be implemented in the UAE with effect from 1st January 2018. While the VAT Registrationin the UAE awaits let us get clarity on how VAT Invoices should be maintained for every business in the UAE as per the latest information by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). According to the FTA, there will be two kinds of invoices for VAT in the UAE. Supply for less than the specified amount will be considered to maintain a simplified VAT invoice – specifically for supermarkets and retail industry. However, supply for more than the specified amount will have to make a detailed invoice.
A simplified VAT invoice for supply less than the specified amount should consider the below:
“tax invoice” in a prominent place
Name, address & TRN of supplier
Date of issue
Description of goods or services
Total amount payable
Total VAT chargeable
The VAT invoice for supplies above than the specified amount should consider the below:
