Value Added Tax Law
Starting from the 1st January 2018, FFA Private Bank shall charge Value Added Tax 5% (hereinafter referred to as “VAT”) to most applicable financial services in compliance with the UAE Federal Law No. 8/2017 and Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
The UAE Ministry of Finance and UAE Federal Tax Authority published Executive Regulations setting out how VAT will operate in the UAE and provided clarity with respect to how VAT will apply to financial services.
In order to reflect the introduction of VAT from 1st January 2018, we are including an Addendum as a further agreement to the existing Terms of Business Agreement applicable to our financial services and arrangements. Your continued dealing with FFA Private Bank is your acceptance of the Addendum and amendments to existing Terms of Business Agreement. Except as varied by the Addendum, existing Agreement(s) with you shall continue in full force and effect in all respects.
