Changes in VAT for Gold & Jewellery Group, Dubai

According to the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group they have been informed by DMCC that the sector may receive some special considerations for VAT and it will be implemented in a few months’ time:

1. Wholesale/B2B: for the wholesale jewellery trade (all B2B transactions), VAT will be charged with 5% on full value but to be implemented via the ‘Reverse Charge Mechanism’, hence  no actual payment of VAT on B2B transactions. Under the Reverse Charge Mechanism.

2. Retail/B2C transactions will attract 5% VAT only on making charges/value additions and not on the gold value.

3. Designated Freezone: Almas Tower will be declared a Designated  Zone for VAT,which will enable Almas Tower to obtain all concessions/special treatments  as per the Executive Regulations.

It is to be noted that these changes have been agreed to at the highest levels of the Executive Council in Dubai; the Federal Authority approval is expected shortly. The time frame expected to reflect the above changes in the VAT implementation is about 3 months.
