Taxes in the UAE

Learn key information about UAE tax legislation

Current information about taxes in the UAE

9% Corporate Tax
On June 1, 2023, the UAE introduced a 9% corporate tax. All UAE companies must register with FTA and file annual tax returns. Companies with profits up to $102,000 don’t pay any taxes.
No Tax on Dividends and Capital Repatriation
The UAE does not tax dividends paid to business owners, even if they are outside the country. You can also freely transfer profits and investments abroad without restrictions or additional fees. This makes the UAE particularly attractive for international investors and holding company owners.
Legal, Transparent, without Hidden Risks
The UAE tax system is based on clear and predictable rules established at the state level. There are no hidden fees, sudden legislative changes, or double interpretations — all tax conditions are known and transparent in advance. This allows entrepreneurs to operate legally and confidently plan financial flows without fear of unexpected tax risks.
