VAT in UAE: Abu Dhabi shops can round low-cost items by up to 20 fils
DED said shops can round up the cost of products by up to 20 fils. Silvia
Dhabi - Emirates Voice
While everyone’s attentions have been turned to how VAT will affect the price of high-cost items, the biggest hit the newly enforced tax may have on your wallet could be when purchasing a packet of chewing gum or bottle of water.
The Department of Economic Development on Thursday clarified the matter of small change when applying the 5 per cent charge on a low-cost item.
DED said shops in Abu Dhabi can round up the cost of products by up to 20 fils. For example, should a product cost Dh10.05 after VAT, the price can then be marked up to Dh10.25.
This means that products costing Dh1.05 after VAT will be rounded up to Dh1.25, which is an increase of 25 per cent from the pre-VAT cost.
It is unclear if the practice is also allowed in the rest of the emirates.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
