Can I deduct input tax while filing VAT?

Yes, you can deduct input tax if your business provides the following types of supplies:

• Taxable supplies:

All domestic goods and services that are taxable at 5% or zero-rated.

• Supplies within GCC:

Import of goods and services from GCC countries that have implemented VAT (if the GCC country has not implemented VAT, the supply will be treated as if it came from outside the GCC).

• Imports from outside the GCC:

All imported goods and services that are taxable at 5% or zero-rated.
