Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay tax on Dubai rental income as an individual?
The UAE does not levy a personal income tax on individuals, so rental income earned personally is generally outside personal income tax. However, property activity carried out through a business may fall under UAE Corporate Tax. This is general UAE tax information — confirm your specific position with an FTA-registered tax agent such as HLB HAMT.
Does UAE Corporate Tax apply to property investors?
UAE Corporate Tax applies at 9% on taxable business profits above the threshold, effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. Whether it applies to a property investor depends on how the activity is held and structured. HLB HAMT advises on Corporate Tax registration and compliance.
Is VAT charged on buying commercial property in the UAE?
VAT in the UAE is 5%. Commercial property supplies are generally standard-rated at 5%, while the first supply of new residential property is zero-rated and subsequent residential leasing is exempt. This is general UAE VAT information; HLB HAMT provides VAT advisory and compliance.
Do I need an FTA-registered tax agent?
A registered tax agent can liaise with and represent your business before the Federal Tax Authority on VAT and Corporate Tax matters. HLB HAMT is an FTA-approved tax agent and offers this representation.
Do you audit owners' association service charges?
Yes. HLB HAMT performs owners' association / jointly-owned property service-charge audits as well as RERA escrow account audits for developers.
