No VAT on pre-paid recharge cards from Etisalat
Etisalat's prepaid recharge cards now start from Dh30. Satish Kumar
Dubai - Emirates Voice
Etisalat prepaid recharge cards will not be effected by VAT, the telecoms company said on Wednesday.
Etisalat asked distributors to adhere to the approved pricing policies and not to levy any additional fee. It also called on customers to report any distributors who try to apply the 5 per cent tax.
“Etisalat has introduced five denominations of recharge cards sold at Dh30, Dh55, Dh110, Dh210 and Dh525 to ensure customers have sufficient credit to subscribe to existing data and combo packages after adding 5 per cent VAT,” the company said.
VAT will only apply on the actual usage, and not on the prepaid recharge cards value. Prepaid users will not pay any extra fee when they recharge.
Etisalat had earlier announced that starting January 1, 2018, it will start collecting VAT with a standard rate of 5 per cent on behalf of the government, which will be added on applicable products and usage of its services as per the UAE Federal Tax Authority.

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 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
