4 years agoGood day sir,
we are a tax registered Company in UAE, however our supplies comes from Germany. We have a client also a taxregistered company in UAE who purchased from us with following condition. The goods will be directly shipped (EX-WORKS) to their client which is outside of the UAE ( Germany to Kuwait ). Goods never entered the UAE,
My question is will the VAT be applicable?

In this case, VAT is not applicable. This transaction is Out of scope of VAT and therefore Tax invoice shouldn’t be raised as well.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for more queries.
