Dear Customer,

As of June 1, 2020, Huawei Services (Hong Kong) Co., Limited ("HUAWEI CLOUD") is required to charge United Arab Emirates (hereinafter "UAE") customers who don't have a UAE "Tax Registration Number" (hereinafter "TRN") 5% VAT on the services provided remotely to them. UAE enterprise customers who have a UAE TRN need to declare UAE VAT for the HUAWEI CLOUD services they receive to the UAE federal tax authority themselves.

HUAWEI CLOUD determines your tax status based on whether you have provided your valid UAE TRN to HUAWEI CLOUD. If you are using HUAWEI CLOUD services and have registered for UAE VAT, you are recommended to update your UAE TRN in HUAWEI CLOUD User Center. If you have uploaded a valid UAE TRN in HUAWEI CLOUD User Center, UAE VAT will not be included in your future purchases of taxable services. Otherwise, HUAWEI CLOUD will still apply UAE VAT to the services.

For purchases of cloud services made on or after February 1, 2021, HUAWEI CLOUD will issue you Tax Invoices that reflect these tax changes and relevant tax amount will also appear in your billing console. All UAE VAT that is collected from UAE customers will be remitted to the United Arab Emirates Federal Tax Authority.

Kindly be advised that the above should not be viewed or deemed as any formal tax and/or legal advice. Should you have any queries, you are recommended to contact your tax and/or legal adviser for any questions regarding this change.

Thank you for using HUAWEI CLOUD.
