VAT on healthcare service in uae is one of the sectors where the industry may choose a wrong rate of tax. Because in certain cases supply of healthcare services will be zero rated; whereas in certain other cases, supply of Healthcare Services will be standard rated; ie 5%. Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has issued a public clarification in the month of October 2019; which clarifies that the supply of healthcare services between business to business is taxable at standard rate. We would like to add a note here that Emirates Chartered Accountants Group has taken same stand from the beginning of the year 2018; from the first day of adoption of VAT in the UAE; which is in connection with the latest public clarification issued by the FTA.
