In September 2019, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Federal Tax Authority (FTA) issued an updated guide on Value Added Tax (VAT) refunds for business visitors (the Guide). The Guide provides information on: (i) the eligibility of overseas businesses and business visitors to obtain refunds of VAT incurred in the UAE; (ii) the information required to be submitted with the claim; (iii) deadlines to submit the form; and (iv) a list of countries eligible for the scheme that operate reciprocal agreements. Businesses with no place of establishment in the UAE or another Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) State and who are not registered for VAT in the UAE, should check their eligibility to recover input VAT incurred in the UAE.
