RCM in VAT

Reverse Charge Mechanism in VAT

In the intricate landscape of VAT, the Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) serves as a transformative paradigm, specifically manifesting in scenarios like cross-border transactions or engagements with non-resident suppliers, where the customary VAT payment responsibility shifts decisively from the supplier to the buyer. This process necessitates the buyer's active involvement, including the autonomous calculation and direct remittance of VAT to the government, and potentially availing input credit benefits, all within a framework of meticulous documentation practices to uphold transparency and readiness for potential audits.

How Does Reverse Charge Mechanism Work?

  • Mr. John, a VAT-registered person in the UAE, acquires services from Tony, a non-UAE-based bookkeeper in Italy.
 
  • As Tony is not registered in the UAE, Mr. John records the reverse charge on his VAT return, accounting for the VAT under the reverse charge mechanism.
