Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay tax on Dubai rental income?
The UAE has no personal income tax, so individuals do not pay income tax on rental income. However, a property-rental business held through a company may fall within UAE Corporate Tax (9% on taxable profits above AED 375,000, effective from June 2023). A tax adviser can confirm how your specific structure is treated.
Does UAE Corporate Tax apply to property investors?
UAE Corporate Tax (9%, effective for financial years from June 2023) applies to businesses and certain commercial activities. Individuals earning real-estate income in a personal capacity may be outside its scope, while property held in companies or as a licensed business activity can be within scope. Aurifer advises on how the rules apply to property portfolios.
Is VAT charged when buying commercial property in Dubai?
Yes. Under UAE VAT (5%, since 2018) the supply of commercial property is standard-rated at 5%, whereas the first supply of residential property is zero-rated and subsequent residential leasing is exempt. Aurifer advises on VAT treatment for property transactions.
What VAT applies to residential property?
As a general UAE rule, the first sale or lease of a new residential building is zero-rated within three years of completion, and later residential supplies are VAT-exempt. Commercial property is standard-rated. Specialist advice is recommended for mixed-use or developer scenarios.
Do I need an FTA-registered tax agent?
Engaging an FTA-registered tax agent is not always mandatory, but it lets a recognised representative deal with the Federal Tax Authority on your behalf. Aurifer operates as an FTA-registered tax agency (TAAN 30002471).
Does Aurifer provide tax training?
Yes. Alongside advisory and compliance work, Aurifer runs professional tax training programmes and workshops on UAE and GCC VAT, Corporate Tax and related topics.
Which areas of tax does Aurifer cover?
Aurifer focuses on Gulf taxation: VAT, Corporate Tax, transfer pricing, customs and excise, tax due diligence, fund and HNWI taxation, and sector-specific advice including real estate and construction.
