VAT at 5% is a non issue. The real issue is some corrupt shopkeepers and company owners using it as an excuse to up prices 25%+ and saying oh, it’s because of VAT sir. Do they really think people are so stupid? Also the rounding up of prices due to the lack of any hard currency under 25 fils. Add up all these 10 and 15 fils here and there and multiply it by the number of customers passing through the doors and you’ll have a LOT of extra scammed dirhams in your pocket at the end of the day.
