Value Added Tax (VAT) is a crucial component of the tax system for many countries, including the Middle East countries. Exports of goods and services are typically zero-rated under VAT, allowing businesses involved in exporting to charge 0% VAT on their sales to customers abroad while still being able to recover Input Tax Credit (ITC) in respect of VAT incurred on their expenses related to these exports. To qualify for the zero-rating, exporters must adhere to specific conditions and maintain appropriate documentation as proof of export. Governments recognise exports as transactions to boost international trade, and hence, exporters enjoy the benefit of zero-rating under VAT. Subject to the specific provisions under domestic law, ITC can be availed as set-off against VAT payable on domestic supplies or claimed as a refund.
