Tele-com industry is also going to be affected with effect from 1st January 2018 onward in terms of its cost of calls. This will make an impact in the initial phase but considerably ignorable.
Automobile industry
Automobile industry might get affected due to the implementation of tax. The percentage of tax will be affected, for example a car costs one million need to make a TAX of 50,000 AED is a massive difference.
Other industries
There are issues to be sorted and federal government has not declared officially the list of items to be included for tax and exemptions list. However, we expect to have good range products and services are going to be affected by the implementation of tax in the country.
