A company established and residing in the UAE (UAE Co.) is going to distribute applications it has developed. It is considering using the payment process of an intermediary (a “Merchant” or “Agent”) who declares that he is a merchant of record and takes the responsibility for VAT compliance in all markets where the subscriptions are sold.

Will such engagement of the Merchant excuse UAE Co. from VAT obliga-tions in the UAE?
Verification of Merchant of Record status
