What are the new VAT administrative penaltiesAhmedTalaat127
The Federal Tax Authority (FTA) shared a public clarification on 28th April 2021 about the amendments for provisions under the Cabinet Decision No 40 of 2017 for administrative penalties. VAT penalties include administrative penalties, which mean the monetary fines imposed on a person or an entity by the FTA for breaching the provisions in the Tax Law of UAE. Penalties can easily be avoided by taking the necessary precautions for non-compliance while filing the VAT report. Businesses have more time to review their data and submit an accurate VAT filing and can benefit from up to 70% waiver for their unpaid penalties if they meet the criteria.

VIETNAM TAXATION – OUTLOOK ON THE EUROPEAN UNION VIETNAM FREE TRADE AGREEMENT...Dr. Oliver Massmann
The document discusses several issues with Vietnam's taxation system and opportunities presented by the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). It identifies inconsistencies between central government policies and local tax department practices, contradictory regulations, and complexity in VAT calculation and refund rules that create difficulties for businesses. Implementation of clearer rules and guidelines is needed to resolve tax payment issues, properly apply incentives, and avoid penalties from changing interpretations. The EVFTA is expected to boost investment and trade but also influence Vietnam to adopt more fixed and determined tax rules for greater certainty.
The document provides an overview of India's income tax system. It discusses that income tax is governed by the central government and levied under the Income Tax Act of 1961. The government taxes various types of individual and business income. Disputes can be appealed through a three-tier system of the commissioner, appellate tribunal, and courts. The government has also implemented measures like the GAAR and equalization levy to address tax avoidance, while transfer pricing remains a controversial area of focus.

Overall, it advocates for simplifying regulations and ensuring fair and consistent treatment of businesses under Vietnam's tax system.
Cleaning Up Your Tax with Voluntary Disclosure AgreementsCBIZ, Inc.
While paying taxes might not be our favorite pastime, the overwhelming majority of taxpayers strive to file and pay all of their tax obligations. However, sometimes taxpayers' best efforts to comply with their tax obligations are not enough, especially in the state and local tax world. Although it may be an innocent mistake, such non-compliance may be very costly if it is first discovered by the state or local taxing jurisdiction, because the taxpayer will not only be subject to tax and interest but also harsh penalties (up to 25 percent or more).
Most Common Mistakes in Act and Vat Returns.pptxshafiqcpa
The document discusses common mistakes made in VAT accounting and VAT return filing in the UAE. It outlines 19 common mistakes such as lack of clarity on zero-rated vs standard-rated supplies, not following the correct tax invoice format, not verifying supplier tax numbers, claiming input VAT on ineligible expenses, and using Excel instead of approved accounting software. It also discusses how to deal with errors discovered after filing VAT returns, including adjusting errors under AED 10,000 in the current quarter or submitting a voluntary disclosure form for larger errors. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of year-end reconciliation of accounting and VAT records.
New rules on retrospective tax penalty waiversAhmedTalaat127
For the first time since the UAE tax laws came into effect in October 2017, the legislation now:
Grants permission to pay tax penalties in installments.
Specifies reasons that permit penalty waivers. *
Prohibits installments or waivers if litigation is ongoing.
Allows for a class action against tax penalties.
Permits waiver of penalties paid during the past five years.
*Before, the legislation only stated that “accepted justifications” may substantiate penalty waivers, but it was unclear what would entail an accepted justification.
Importantly, taxpayers must now choose between either disputing tax penalties through the tax dispute resolution committees and the Federal Courts — or filing installment or waiver applications. The new changes make it unworkable for both to occur at the same time. And because of the time limitations, a dispute may be time-barred if the taxpayer opts to file an installment or waiver application instead of contending the penalties before the tax dispute resolution committees and the Federal Courts.
This is a substantive consideration for taxpayers as they must weigh the risks of sacrificing litigation against the risk of receiving a rejection on an installment or waiver application.
Value Added Tax (VAT) is an indirect tax. It is a type of general consumption tax that is collected incrementally, based on the value added, at each stage of production or distribution/sales. It is usually implemented as a destination-based tax. It is also known as goods and services tax (GST) in some countries
Government has tentatively decided to introduce VAT in UAE by 01 January, 2018. The proposed rate of VAT in UAE will be up to 5%.

Margins tax stirs concern among small businesses and organizationsTexasdude111
The document summarizes concerns from small business owners and organizations about Texas's new margins tax, which replaced the previous franchise tax. The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) argues the tax will negatively impact many small businesses by increasing their tax burden significantly compared to before. While supporters argue it broadens the tax base, the NFIB is calling for reforms like raising the small business exemption amount to provide more relief for small companies. Whether any changes will be made is uncertain as it requires calling a special legislative session.
The UAE will introduce a federal corporate tax on business profits starting June 1, 2023. The tax will be 0% for taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% for income above that threshold. Large multinationals may face different rates. The tax applies to corporate profits but not personal income or salaries. Free zone incentives will continue for compliant businesses not operating in the mainland. The new law aims to increase government revenues while continuing to support small businesses and foreign investment.
Understanding VAT returns in the UAE can be challenging for businesses new to its tax landscape, mainly since VAT was introduced in January 2018.

New tax rules for individuals working via their own companies for medium or large business. From 6 April 2020, new tax rules are proposed for individuals who provide their personal services via an ‘intermediary’ to medium or large business. An intermediary may be another individual, a partnership, an unincorporated association or a company. The most common structure is a worker providing their services via their own company (PSC) which is the term used in this letter to summarise the rules which will apply to all intermediaries. Similar rules were introduced in 2017 for public sector organisations receiving services from PSCs. The 2020 rules will use the 2017 rules as a starting point which means, in practical terms, that the principles have already been decided but some aspects of the detailed operation of the rules will be decided in a consultation process. Draft legislation has been published which will, subject to consultation, be included in the next Finance Bill.

The UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) issued a bulletin providing guidance on the VAT treatment of the education sector in the UAE. Certain supplies in the education sector are exempted from VAT, while standard rates apply to others such as uniforms, food, and extracurricular activities. Supplies directly related to government-recognized curricula and reading materials are zero-rated and do not incur VAT. Transportation of students is also exempted. Educational institutions must register for VAT if the value of their supplies exceeds mandatory or voluntary thresholds, but those only providing zero-rated supplies may apply for an exception. Tax invoices are required except in some cases, and input tax can be recovered except on certain blocked items.
The DIFC Employee Workplace Savings (DEWS) plan replaces existing end-of-service gratuity benefits for DIFC employers. Under DEWS, employers must make monthly contributions of 5.83-8.33% of the employee's basic salary to a savings plan starting February 1, 2020. Employers have until March 31 to enroll in DEWS or another approved plan. Accrued gratuity as of January 31, 2020 can be transferred to DEWS with employee consent, kept by the employer, or transferred without consent but the employer remains liable.
The Federal Tax Authority issued a clarification on the timeframe for recovering input tax. Input tax must be recovered in the first tax period where two conditions are met: the tax invoice is received and there is intent to make payment within six months of the agreed payment date. Intent to pay sometimes arises after quality control approval for manufacturers and construction firms. If input tax isn't claimed in the first eligible period, it can be claimed in the next period. However, if payment isn't made within six months, the input tax must be reduced in the next return and can be recovered once payment is made.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted businesses globally and will likely transform how companies operate going forward.

This includes restructuring organizations if needed for survival, streamlining and automating processes, reducing redundancies, outsourcing non-core functions, and focusing resources on essential needs rather than "nice to haves". Adopting these internal efficiencies will help companies emerge from the crisis stronger.

The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Voluntary VAT Disclosures can Result in Huge Penalties.pdf
1. Voluntary VAT Disclosures can Result in
Huge Penalties
UAE based businesses will have to pay penalties for voluntary disclosures,
from the date of the original VAT return in which the error was made to the
date of receipt of payment of the VAT. Initially, penalties on voluntary
disclosures were treated as admin fines, and heavier penalties were not
imposed for late payments. The ruling by UAE Federal Supreme Court comes
as a huge shock for businesses, as the penalties can reach up to 300 percent
of the dues.
The judgment by the Federal Supreme Court will be the first final and
conclusive judgment to be issued on penalties for voluntary disclosure. The
judgment may affect upcoming decisions to be issued by the various Tax
Dispute Resolution Committees and Federal Courts.
A voluntary disclosure is a form provided by FTA that gives taxpayers an
opportunity to voluntarily notify the authority about any error or omission in a
previous Tax Return, Tax Assessment or Tax Refund application. A voluntary
disclosure must be submitted within 20 business days of the taxpayer
identifying an error.
“It is always better to ensure there aren’t any errors or omissions in the VAT
return form, rather than worrying about penalties at a later stage or not
disclosing prior period errors to the FTA. VAT plays a significant role on the
entire business system and penalties that result from voluntary disclosure can
affect cash flow adversely. Hence, it is important to have the right procedures
in place’, says Jay Krishnan, Partner at HLB HAMT.
It has been almost three years since UAE implemented VAT, but the trend of
committing errors while filing for VAT is still prevalent among many
2. businesses. HLB HAMT has an exclusive team of trained VAT Consultants
who can assist you to steer your business smoothly through the tax laws.
