Important notes

  • The UAE does not impose personal tax on dividend income. Your entire dividend income is received tax-free.
  • There is no withholding tax on dividends paid by UAE-resident companies to individuals.
  • Note: A 9% corporate tax was introduced in June 2023 on business profits exceeding AED 375,000, but this applies at the corporate level and does not affect individual dividend recipients.
  • If you receive dividends from companies in other countries, withholding tax may be applied by the source country. Check the applicable double tax treaty between the UAE and the source country.
