UAE FTA Clarifies VAT Rules for Barter Transactions in New Public Guidance

VAT Public Clarification – VATP042, Value of Supply – Barter Transactions

• Definition of Barter Transactions: Barter transactions involve the exchange of goods and/or services between parties, each making a supply to the other, and are subject to standard VAT rules with specific valuation considerations.
• Valuation of Supply: The value of the supply in a barter transaction is determined by the market value of the non-monetary consideration received, excluding any tax amount.
• Mixed Consideration: If a supplier receives both monetary and non-monetary consideration, the value of the supply is calculated as the monetary part plus the market value of the non-monetary part, again excluding the tax amount.
