Create Vouchers for Purchases and Purchase Returns Under VAT in GCC

Purchasing goods or services marks the continuation of a business which further leads to selling goods or services. As you purchase goods or services from vendors, it becomes important to record the same. As part of the business, you may also need to record any purchase returns to your vendor. In TallyPrime, you can record the purchase and purchase returns through purchase voucher and debit note respectively. As a registered VAT dealer, you can purchase goods or services from any other registered or unregistered dealers situated locally or in other GCC countries. You may import goods and services for sales or subsequent transfers for which you need to account based on the reverse charge mechanism. For your business, you will also purchase capital goods. At times, there will be purchase returns too. 

You may make purchases from the same country, either from registered dealers or unregistered dealers. For such purchases, you are not obliged to pay any tax. You may also make purchases from other GCC countries or any other country. When you purchase goods from other GCC countries or import goods and services, such purchases attract a reverse charge. The reverse charge mechanism is defined in the GCC Unified VAT Agreement as the mechanism by which the taxable customer is obligated to pay the tax due on behalf of the supplier. You can later claim the tax paid to the government and adjust it with the net VAT payable. When purchasing capital goods, you can claim the input credit against such purchases if the capital goods are purchased to do business. For any capital goods you purchase for personal use, input credit cannot be claimed.

Purchase of Capital goods: When you purchase capital goods, you can recover the input tax paid in the first year when the asset was used for the first time. The first use of the asset occurs when it is capitalised. However, you can claim your input credit fully or partially as per your business requirements. If you have purchased a building, the estimated useful life is 10 years, whereas the estimated useful life of other assets is 5 years. In order to recover the input VAT, firstly, you need to identify the total input VAT on said capital goods, then divide the total input tax by the useful life of the assets. Later, if the intended use of the capital asset changes over the period, then you need to multiply the above result by the number of years or months for which the intended use was changed. It allows you to recover the complete input VAT in the first year based on the intended use, with a provision to repay later on account of changes in use.

Import goods and services: When you import goods and services, the tax is applicable on reverse charge mechanism. 

TallyPrime is compliant with the norms of the Federal Tax Authority and Zakat, the Tax and Customs Authority.

Once you have purchased the goods or services, if you find any issues with the goods or services in terms of quality or quantity, you can return them and record them, including the tax.

Record Local Purchase of Goods and Services

When you purchase goods or services locally from registered or unregistered supplier, such purchase of goods or services is referred to as Domestic Purchase. The purchase of goods or services from a registered supplier in the same country will attract VAT rates as applicable for the goods or services. In TallyPrime, you can record purchase of goods or stock items using the Item Invoice mode and specify the stock item details, quantity, and rate. Similarly, purchase of services can be recorded using the Accounting Invoice mode. An accounting ledger is not required as there is no stock item to allocate.

1. Open the purchase voucher in Item Invoice mode.
   1. Press Alt+G (Go To) > Create Voucher > Press F9 (Purchase).
      Alternatively, Gateway of Tally > Vouchers > Press F9 (Purchase).

Reverse Charge Mechanism in GCC Countries

In a regular business, the supplier of goods collects VAT on behalf of the customer and pays the government. However, under the reverse charge mechanism, the buyer pays the tax directly to the government.

In GCC countries, the reverse charge is applicable in the following cases:

• Import of goods and services from other GCC and non-GCC countries
• Purchase of goods from a designated zone
• Supply of gold and diamonds 
• Purchase of gold and diamonds for resale or further production or manufacturing
• Supply of hydrocarbons for resale by a registered supplier to a registered recipient
• Supply of crude or refined oil by a registered supplier to a registered recipient
• Supply of processed or unprocessed natural gas by a registered supplier to a registered recipient
• Production and distribution of any form of energy supplied by a registered supplier to a registered recipient

Record Purchase within GCC Countries

When you are purchasing goods from other GCC countries, based on the reverse charge, you, as a purchaser, are liable to pay the tax to the government. For example, suppose you are a registered dealer located in the UAE and purchase goods or services from a registered or unregistered dealer in Saudi Arabia or Bahrain. In that case, you have to pay tax on the purchases. After recording the purchase voucher, you need to record the Input Tax and further claim the Input tax as an Input Tax Credit. Using the Journal Voucher, you can record the tax liability and input tax credit. The tax liability and Input Tax Credit claim can be recorded after each purchase voucher is recorded or you can record them after consolidation of all the purchases made.

You may choose to claim the input credit partially every year over the useful life of the capital goods. For example, if the capital goods you have purchased have a useful life of 5 years, then you can divide the input credit claim over a period of 5 years and claim partially each year. For that, you need to mention the taxable value for which you want to claim the input credit and record the entry in the same purchase voucher along with the purchase transaction. Record the balance amount of tax as expenses if you do not want to claim the residual tax amount next year. If you want to claim the residual tax amount next year then you can record the balance amount of tax as a provision.

As it is a partial claim of input credit the total value of the goods and the taxable value are different.

Import of Goods and Services

An import transaction can be taxable, exempt, or zero-rated. Tax is applicable on a reverse charge basis on taxable imports. However, when tax is paid at the customs for the imports there is no need to apply tax again on such goods.

TallyPrime provides you with the provision to record purchase transactions for the import of goods for which tax is paid to the customs. In case the tax is not paid at customs, you can record purchase transactions without the tax value. Later you can record a journal voucher for tax applicable.

TallyPrime enables you to record the imports for subsequent sales and also has a provision to create a tax liability for the VAT on imports such that the customer can claim the VAT paid.

In this section

• Import for subsequent transfer

Import for subsequent transfer

Record Purchase Returns

After you have purchased the goods or services, you may have scenarios where you have to return the purchased goods or services. Such scenarios can arise from various reasons such as quality of supply, surplus supply, late delivery, and so on. At the time of purchasing the capital goods if you have claimed input credit fully or partially then you also need to consider that while recording the purchase return. The purchase return can be recorded in TallyPrime using a Debit Note. The return of goods may happen in the same period or in the subsequent period. You need to record the Debit Note accordingly to view the Input tax credit reversed in the period of recording the Debit note.
