I would categorize challenges in following areas in any enterprise:
IN GCC VAT WILL BE CHARGED ON GOODS AS WELL AS SERVICES. THUS THE TAX BURDEN WILL BE FINALLY SHIFTED TO THE END CONSUMER, WHICH WILL INCREASE THE PRICES OF THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. THUS THE COMPANIES HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE COST OF PRODUCTION AND PROFIT MARGINS PRECISELY TO AVOID FINANCIAL LOSS DUE TO VAT INTRODUCTION AND LOSS OF CONSUMERS DUE TO INCREASE IN PRICE.
Upgrading the current system or framework to a vat enabled framework and recruiting vat specialists, that too in a country with less tax operations are some of the major challenges according to my opinion.
