Strategic legal advice regarding corporate tax law in the UAE.
The UAE has a favourable tax framework, as no personal tax is deducted from salaries. Tax in the area is instead added to goods and services, but remains low at just 5%. Tax law varies for expatriates and high-net-worth individuals, who may be subject to other taxes.
Corporate tax law in the UAE means that only businesses with a profit of over 375,000 AED will need to pay tax. This tax rate is set at 9%, which remains favourable when compared to many areas around the world. Free zones in the area typically benefit from 0% tax.
Estate planning in the UAE varies for Muslims and non-Muslims. Sharia Law is used to manage inheritance and estate planning for Muslims. For non-Muslims, a registered Will is necessary. Without a recognised Will, the individual’s preferences will not be considered when assets are distributed.
When negotiating tax and estate planning, it’s crucial that you work alongside tax law specialists, such as Hamdan Al Shamsi Lawyers & Legal Consultants. We have the knowledge and expertise to deliver high-quality, accurate advice at all times.
