Important notes

  • The United Arab Emirates does not have a wealth tax. There is no annual tax on net worth, and no inheritance or estate tax applies.
  • The UAE is one of the most tax-friendly jurisdictions globally for individuals. There is no personal income tax, no capital gains tax, no wealth tax, and no inheritance tax.
  • Corporate Tax: A 9% federal corporate tax was introduced in June 2023 on business profits exceeding AED 375,000. This applies to business income, not personal wealth.
  • VAT: A 5% Value Added Tax applies to most goods and services. Essential items such as food staples, healthcare, and education may be zero-rated or exempt.
  • Property-related costs: Dubai charges a 4% property transfer fee on purchase, while Abu Dhabi charges 2%. Some emirates levy annual municipal or housing fees (e.g., Dubai charges 5% of annual rental value for residential properties).
  • Important: UAE residency does not automatically exempt you from tax obligations in your country of citizenship. Many countries tax their citizens or tax residents on worldwide income regardless of where they live (e.g., the US taxes all citizens globally).
