Taxation in Dubai

Taxation is a crucial element of understanding a country's business environment. If you're thinking about starting or transferring a business in Dubai, taxes will play a major part in the business planning process to owe as little as legally possible. When it comes to taxation in Dubai, it's integral to work with tax and business advisors who are dedicated to staying on top of tax regulations to help you stay compliant.

‍

Dubai doesn't assess income taxes on businesses aside from banks and oil companies. However, the Federal Tax Authority recently issued VAT requirements that your business may be subject to. If you already have a Tax Registration Number (TRN), you do not need an additional VAT certificate. Your business may need to register for VAT depending on the amount of taxable supplies on hand and other criteria. Because the VAT is being computed based on the value of imported goods and services, opposed to profits, this is causing a lot of confusion among business owners and nationals who do business in Dubai.

WHY YOU SHOULD WORK WITH PROFESSIONAL TAX ADVISORS TO UNDERSTAND TAXATION IN DUBAI

At Maitha Alzaabi Auditing, our tax law specialists have a dedicated focus on tax issues that affect business owners in Dubai. Taxation in Dubai may not be as complex as business taxes in the western world, but it still has various degrees of nuance. For example, unregistered businesses are not legally allowed to send tax invoices or they face steep penalties. Not all businesses are eligible to get a TRN as well.
