How to Manage VAT on Inter-Gulf Transactions Post-FTA Agreements 

wmremove-transformed (8)

Doing business across GCC borders can be profitable—but it complicates VAT compliance. With the UAE and other Gulf countries implementing VAT, inter-Gulf transactions require careful management to stay compliant. 

Thanks to the Common VAT Agreement among GCC countries, businesses must understand the rules governing exports, imports, and intra-GCC supplies. Key considerations include the place of supply, application of reverse charge mechanisms, and zero-rating for specific transactions. 

At Strategists Consultant, we help UAE businesses manage VAT on cross-border deals effectively. We guide: 

  • When to apply zero-rating on exports 
  • How to account for import VAT and claim input credits 
  • When to apply reverse charge for services received 
  • Documenting transactions to meet FTA and GCC regulations 

Failing to properly handle inter-Gulf VAT can result in double taxation or compliance breaches. Our team ensures your inter-GCC trade is VAT-efficient and fully compliant. 

With Strategists Consultant as your tax advisor, you can navigate the complexities of post-FTA VAT rules with confidence.
