What is a warranty?
A guarantee issued by the retailer or manufacturer to the consumer, promising a repair if necessary within a specified period time. This blog is briefly about how warranties are effected by VAT implementation.
Normally there are 2 types of warranties:
- Free with the original purchase is treated as composite supply.
- Extended warranty for an additional charge such as Supply of insurance, 5% VAT.
Other specific issues :
- Supply of replacement goods (scope of the warranty) – Not subject to VAT
- Charge for replacing goods under warranty – Subject to VAT
- Manufacturer funding of warranty outside UAE (work performed in UAE) – Subject to VAT
