That’s 39.8%of your annual profit, every year, for as long as you’re structured through the UAE.
How we calculate this. Home-country rate is the effective combined corporate + dividend tax on cash extracted from a wholly-owned company at that profit level. Real liability depends on your specific structure, deductions, and personal circumstances — we’ll lay it out properly on the discovery call.
UAE corporate tax. 0% on profits up to AED 375,000. 9% on profits above. Free-zone companies meeting substance + qualifying-income tests can stay 0% on qualifying income.
Tax residency matters. Lower UAE rates apply only if you actually shift tax residency (with substance) — not by setting up a UAE company while staying tax-resident at home. We cover this on the call.
Next steps
The tax savings are real, but only if you do the structure right and shift residency with proper substance. We’ll lay out the full picture for your specific situation on the discovery call.
