الطريقة الصحيحة لفرض ضريبة القيمة المضافة على المستهلكين النهائيين

مرحبًا نخات،

كيف حالك؟

لقد قرأت إجابتك حول الاستعلام عن ضريبة القيمة المضافة وأتمنى أن أحصل على توضيح أيضًا.

إننا وكلاء (في مجال استشارات تأسيس الأعمال). بشكل أساسي، إننا نتعامل مع مستشار تأسيس أعمال آخر بدلاً من تولي الأمر بشكل مباشر، ولكننا لا نرغب في الإفصاح عن ذلك لعملائنا بأننا نتعامل مع مستشار آخر لتأسيس الأعمال.

سؤالي الآن هو أن المستشار الآخر يفرض ضريبة القيمة المضافة علينا ولكن الفاتورة صادرة باسم العميل النهائي.

لذلك إن سؤالي هو؛ إذا كنت أتقاضى رسومًا إضافية من العملاء مقابل ما يتقاضونه، على سبيل المثال، إذا كانت الأتعاب الخاصة بهم تبلغ 2000 درهم، ومن جانبي، أتقاضى أتعابًا قدرها 4000 درهم، هل يجب أن أتقاضى ضريبة القيمة المضافة على إجمالي المبلغ 4000 درهم، أم هل يجب فصلها وإضافتها فقط على المبالغ التكميلية حيث أن هذا لم يكن العرض الخاص بي؟

شكرًا لكِ.

Yes, VAT is payable on professional fees.

Indeed your professional fees to the client include the professional fees payable to the other agent but you need not to disclose the same to the client.

In your invoice to the client, mention your fees (which include the agent's share) and VAT separately (which includes Agent's VAT share).

When you receive the funds from the client, pay the other agent his fee plus VAT on his fee then he, in turn, will settle the same for his VAT returns and your company will pay VAT for your VAT share.

Thank you for your reply Nikhat!

But in this set-up, we will not be able to recover the input tax since they are issuing the tax invoice in the name of the ultimate customer?

That is why it crossed my mind, to separate the fees of professional fees charged by them to what we are charging.

Thank you!

I do not understand why they are issuing. You should issue it.

Hi Nikhat,

Again, I want to thank you for giving your time clearing my confusion with VAT.

Yes, basically they are issuing the invoice in the name of the ultimate customer as, in their point of view, they are doing the service to the client. They see us simply as someone who arranges this transaction.

However, I have read as well an article about VAT that in this particular case, we are hiring them to provide service to someone whom we dealt with, so basically, in this approach, they should be invoicing us.

Thank you!

They are lying just to poach the client. We are legal consultants and we engage advocates who are doing the job, but we issue the invoice to the client, not the advocates.
