One of the first updates to the UAE VAT Executive Regulations since they were published towards the end of 2017 relates to the zero-rating of exported services. This change in 2020 only involved changing the word ‘or’ to ‘and’, but caused a profound shock in the UAE market for exported services and left a lot of questions open. Given the lack of clarity regarding the update, the FTA subsequently published a VAT Public Clarification on the zero-rating of export of services (“VTP019”) to provide its opinion on the impact of the change.
