Notes & assumptions (5)
  • The UAE imposes no personal income tax on salaries or wages — this is true for both nationals and expatriates.
  • Corporate Tax (9% on profits above AED 375,000, effective 1 June 2023) applies to businesses, not employment income.
  • VAT of 5% applies to most goods and services since 2018 — paid on consumption, not on income.
  • UAE and other GCC nationals working in the UAE contribute to the General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA): typically 5% employee + 12.5–15% employer. Expatriates do not contribute.
  • Some emirates levy housing fees (e.g. Dubai 5% of rent) — these are municipal charges, not income tax.
