[@schanizeburkett1261]

Thanks for the very informative video Ms. Krystel! Products in Amazon are charged with VAT. For an Amazon FBA seller, why do they charge VAT even if the seller is just an individual?

[@AmazonSellersSociety]

Because all goods sold in the UAE include VAT. They are not charging you as a seller, they are charging the customer.

[@schanizeburkett1261]

Amazon Sellers Society - Middle East So Amazon does cut the VAT amount charged to the customers? And sellers get only the Net Amount? Did i get it right?

[@AmazonSellersSociety]

If you live in the UAE, you get all the amount but when you reach the VAT registration threshold which is 375,000AED per year in revenue then you need to register for VAT and it will be your duty to give back the 5% to the government. I know VAT is a new thing for a lot of people but it’s a very common practice in many countries and the UAE has a very low VAT percentage - in some European counties it’s as high as 21%. Always add 5% to your selling price so that you are on the safe side

I understood from your video that i do not need vat registiration but an authorized person from consultancy company claims that everybody has to do it if there is no trade license / business license in UAE. I am in a huge confusion. I would be grateful if you make it clear.... 😞

if the seller has less threshold for mandatory VAT registration and he opts not to register himself for VAT so in that case will he charge VAT from customers? if yes then how he will record that amount in his earnings?
