Tax Notice

This Tax Notice explains how VAT and related taxes are applied to purchases on KAT Exchange. It is provided for general information only and is not tax advice.

[REVIEW WITH UAE LAWYER] Confirm VAT treatment, place-of-supply rules, export evidence requirements, and invoicing format with a UAE tax advisor.

• Sales are invoiced from [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] — Key Asset Technologies (UAE Branch).
• VAT TRN: [VAT_TRN]. VAT registration date: [VAT_REGISTRATION_DATE].
• Registered address: [REGISTERED_ADDRESS] — Industrial Parkway 2, Sharjah, UAE.

• Every sale is a local UAE supply: lots are collected in person from our Sharjah warehouse, and KAT Exchange does not arrange, assist with, or verify export.
• Standard-rated VAT at 5% is added to the winning bid plus buyer's premium, for every buyer, regardless of your country of residence or business location.
• Because we do not retain export/customs evidence, no sale qualifies for the zero-rated export treatment available under UAE VAT law — this applies equally to UAE-based and international buyers.
• VAT is calculated on the subtotal = winning bid + 12.5% buyer's premium.

• Winning bid: [EXAMPLE_BID]
• Buyer's premium (12.5%): [EXAMPLE_PREMIUM]
• Subtotal: [EXAMPLE_SUBTOTAL]
• VAT (5%): [EXAMPLE_VAT]
• Total due: [EXAMPLE_TOTAL]

• Invoices are issued in USD with an AED equivalent at the UAE Central Bank peg of [USD_TO_AED] AED per USD.

• If you independently arrange to export an item after collection, any potential VAT recovery is a matter between you and your own tax authority.
• KAT Exchange does not provide export or customs documentation and cannot support a zero-rating or refund claim.

• Certain inventory is sourced in the United States by Key Asset Technologies LLC (country of origin: USA) and imported via the UAE for onward sale. Customs and import duties in your destination country are your responsibility.

• A tax invoice is issued for each completed purchase and is available from your account.
• Retain invoices for your own tax and accounting records.
