Charities need to understand the impact of UAE VAT on them under two contexts: its application to the activities of all charities and the approach they should take while determining the amount of VAT on costs (input tax) that they are eligible to reclaim. Specifically, they should know how the VAT will affect the charities that are engaged in both business and non-business activities. Furthermore, certain charities are classified as designated charities in the UAE that are entitled to recovery of VAT under a special regime.
