Saudi Arabia, UAE Starts Vat Implementation


Advertisements

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates introduced value-added tax starting January 1, a first for the Gulf which has long stood up without implementing taxes.
Saudi Arabia started the New Year blow for motorists with an unannounced  immediate hike of up to 127% in petrol prices.


They are the latest in a series of measures introduced by Gulf oil producers over the past 2 years boosting revenues and cutting expenditures as a persistent slump in world prices which led to swollen budget deficits.

The 5% sales tax applies to most goods and services. Analysts project that the two governments could raise as much as $21 billion in 2018, equivalent to 2.0 % of GDP.

The other four Gulf states -- Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar -- are also committed to follow VAT introduction expected to commence early 2019.

The Gulf states did not levy any personal income tax nor planning to do so.

The International Monetary Fund has repeatedly urged Gulf states to diversify their revenues away from oil, which accounts for more than 90 percent of the Saudi budget and 80 percent in the UAE.

Both Saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates directed all companies earning $100,000 or more per annum to register in the VAT system.

VAT returns in the UAE will be used "for infrastructure development ... (to) upgrade public services ... and boost UAE economy competitiveness."

High-grade petrol rose 127% from 24 cents per liter($1.09/gallon) to 54 ($2.46), while low-grade petrol rose 83 percent from 20 cents per liter (91 cents/gallon) to 36.5 ($1.66).
Taxes on diesel and kerosene remained as is.

The introduction of VAT coupled with the increase in fuel duty is expected to bring an abrupt end to a year of negative inflation in Saudi Arabia.

Riyadh-based Jadwa Investment predictions said that inflation could reach as much as 5% after the implementation of the VAT.

The new sales tax draws sarcastic reactions on social media

"They are even taking taxes on car parking. I am afraid they will next tax the air," wrote Ahmed bin Fatima.

Riyadh posted budget deficits summed up to $260 billion over the past four years and does not expect to balance its books before 2023.

, The kingdom has withdrawn around $250 billion from its reserves over the past four years, reducing them to $490 billion t
o finance its mounting public debt

 $100 billion 
has also been borrowed by Saudi Arabia from the international and domestic markets.

Senate Increased Personal Income Tax Exemption To P250,000


The video above was uploaded January this year. Now, what President Duterte promised during the campaign is now approved by the senate and is ready to be implemented this coming year.  The Senate increased the personal income tax exemption to P250,000, essentially retaining the original proposal of the Department of Finance (DOF) and the House of Representatives under the first package of the tax reform bill.   The Senate ways and means committee initially reduced the personal income tax exemption, with only the first P150,000 annual income exempted from tax, however, Senator Ralph Recto proposed that the exemption be increased to P250,000.  Sponsored Links  The Senate meanwhile has so far retained the P82,000 tax exemptoion for 13th month pay and other bonuses, and the maximum P100,000 additional exemption for up to four dependents. Some 14 senators have submitted their proposed individual amendments to Angara’s committee.  The Senate version of the tax schedule to be implemented effective January 1, 2018: Over 250,000 but not over P400,000 – 20 percent of the excess over P250,000 Over P400,000 but not over P800,000 – P30,000 plus 25 percent of the excess over P400,000 Over 800,000 but not over P2 million – P130,000 plus 30 percent of the excess over P800,000 Over P2 million but not over P8 million – P490,000 plus 32 percent of the excess over P2 million Over P8 million – P2.41 million plus 35 percent of the excess over P8 million  Angara said that such tax scheme, however, will result in a P1-billion revenue loss for the government.  Meanwhile, Angara said the Senate version of the tax reform proposal has exceeded the revenue goal of the DOF. The amended Senate version, he said, would yield P159.5 billion in revenue—a hundred billion more than the previous revenue estimate of P59.9 billion.  The boost in the revenue, Angara said, was significantly sourced from the amendments to the provisions on the expansion of the value-added tax (VAT) base. From the repeal of these  VAT special laws alone, the estimated revenue gained from P14 billion to P45.5 billion.  Another major source of revenue is the doubling of the existing documentary stamp tax rates which will approximately raise P40 billion.  Documentary stamp tax is a tax on documents, instruments, loan agreements and papers evidencing the acceptance, assignment, sale or transfer of an obligation, right or property incident thereto.

OFW Remittance Will Not Be Taxed Under Duterte's Tax Reform Plan

If you are an OFW, or your family relies on OFW remittance, then here's some good news for you! If you are aware of President Duterte's Tax Reform Plan, many OFWs were wondering if their remittances are going to be taxed as some people have speculated on social media. The good news is that Finance Undersecretary Karl Kendrick Chua has confirmed that the proposed Comprehensive Tax Reform Program (CTRP) does not cover remittances from Overseas Filipino Workers since these are money coming from outside the country.  Simply put, the Philippine government has no jurisdiction over such inbound funds. Just to stress, the laws apply only to remittances sent from within the country and, even then, the principal amount itself is not taxed. Only the domestic remittance fees are being charged with value-added tax (VAT).  Economists agree, that the continuing growth of OFW remittances, as well as the local BPO Industry, are a big help in achieving the 6-7% target growth of the Philippines' GDP. Last year, overseas Filipino workers had remitted a total of $28 Billion. Remittances came mainly from the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Singapore.  Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said the CTRP was expected to help reduce the poverty rate in the Philippines from 21.6 percent in 2015 to 14 percent by 2022.  Dominguez said that meant lifting some six million Filipinos out of poverty and helping the country achieve upper middle-income status.
