In VAT reverse charge, end customer pays VAT directly to FTA. In VAT reverse charge mechanism, the responsibility of paying VAT to the FTA shifts from supplier to buyer or customer.\u00a0<\/p>
In a common business transaction, the supplier supplies goods or services to the customer and collects VAT on behalf of the customer and later pay it to the FTA.\u00a0Under reverse charge mechanism (RCM)<\/b>, the supplier does not charge VAT to the customer and the customer or end user pays the VAT directly to the FTA.<\/span><\/p> While importing goods or services from outside the GCC countries, reverse charge mechanism will apply. Businesses will not pay VAT at the time of import. The responsibility of reporting VAT shifts from supplier to customer under VAT reverse charge mechanism. The buyer will report both input VAT and output VAT in their VAT return.<\/p> The supplier\u00a0does not have to pay\u00a0VAT on import items,\u00a0so the obligation of reporting a VAT transaction\u00a0is shifted from the seller to the recipient. The recipient will have to record the VAT on purchases\u00a0(input VAT)\u00a0and the VAT on sales (output VAT) in their VAT return\u00a0each quarter.<\/p><\/blockquote> VAT reverse charge mechanism abolish the responsibility for the businesses outside the UAE to register for VAT.<\/p> While doing a business transaction with the business which are not physically present in UAE and the business or supplier is providing goods or services from outside the country, the VAT does not apply on the businesses who are not in UAE. So the recipient who has business in UAE and receiving goods from the supplier from outside UAE are made to pay VAT on reverse charge basis.\u00a0<\/span>Businesses will apply VAT reverse charge on following scenarios:<\/p> Supply of diamonds and gold<\/p><\/blockquote><\/li> Purchase of diamonds and gold for resale or production or manufacture<\/p><\/blockquote><\/li> Import of goods or services from GCC or non GCC countries.

XYZ company is not registered in UAE and does not have to pay VAT or get register under the FTA as they do not have business in UAE. As ABC company in UAE is importing goods from the company which is outside from UAE, so ABC company will apply reverse charge mechanism on his relevant VAT return.<\/p> In RCM VAT, the responsibility to pay VAT shifts from the supplier to the customer.
