VAT
Effective Date: January 1st, 2018.
Value Added Tax is a tax on consumption levied at each stage of the supply chain and
ultimately borne by the end consumer.
VAT is a transaction-based indirect tax which is levied at each step of the supply chain.
End consumers generally bear the VAT cost while registered businesses collect and
account for the tax, in a way acting as a tax collector on behalf of the Federal Tax Authority.
VAT is used in more than 180 countries around the world. All OECD countries except for
the US have VAT (or a variation). While it feels exactly the same as a general sales tax to
end-consumers, VAT is a more sophisticated tax and overcomes many challenges that
affect the general sales tax.
