Frequently Asked Questions
Does UAE Corporate Tax apply to property investors and real estate businesses?
The UAE introduced a federal Corporate Tax under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, generally levied at 9% on taxable business profits above the threshold and effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. How it applies to a specific property-holding structure depends on the entity and activity, which is a core part of Deloitte's business tax and international tax advisory. Confirm your position with a qualified adviser.
Is VAT charged on Dubai real estate transactions?
UAE VAT (5%, in force since 2018) treats property differently by type: the first supply of residential property is generally zero-rated and subsequent residential leasing is exempt, while commercial property is standard-rated. Deloitte's indirect tax team advises on VAT treatment and compliance. These are general UAE tax facts, not transaction-specific advice.
What services does Deloitte Middle East offer?
Deloitte operates four main service lines: audit & assurance, tax, consulting, and financial advisory, with industry practices including real estate served through Strategy & Transactions.

Yes. Deloitte has a dedicated transfer pricing practice covering strategy, policy design, documentation, and compliance, which is relevant for related-party dealings within property and holding structures under UAE Corporate Tax.
