Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about international taxation
The UAE has established an extensive network of double tax treaties with over 100 countries worldwide. These treaties provide significant benefits to international businesses, including:
- Reduced or eliminated withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and royalties
- Protection against double taxation on the same income
- Specific provisions for capital gains tax treatment
- Permanent establishment protection in certain circumstances
- Dispute resolution mechanisms through mutual agreement procedures
By strategically leveraging these treaty benefits, businesses can significantly reduce their global tax burden, improve cash flow efficiency, and create more tax-effective cross-border structures. Our international tax experts can help you identify and apply the most advantageous treaty provisions based on your specific business activities and jurisdictional footprint.
UAE businesses expanding internationally should consider several critical tax factors:
- Foreign Tax Exposure: Understanding when and how your business activities create taxable presence (permanent establishment) in foreign jurisdictions
- Entity Selection: Choosing the optimal legal entity structure in each country based on local tax rules, business needs, and repatriation strategies
- Profit Repatriation: Planning efficient methods to move profits back to the UAE with minimal tax leakage
- Transfer Pricing: Establishing defensible pricing policies for intercompany transactions that comply with both UAE and foreign requirements
- Substance Requirements: Ensuring sufficient business substance in each jurisdiction to support the chosen structure
- Compliance Obligations: Managing tax filing and reporting requirements across multiple countries
Early planning is essential to create tax-efficient international structures. Our team can help develop comprehensive expansion strategies that align with your business objectives while minimizing global tax costs.
The introduction of UAE corporate tax has significant implications for international business structures:
- Treaty Access: UAE entities now have clearer access to treaty benefits as a tax-paying jurisdiction
- Substance Requirements: Increased focus on genuine economic substance to support international structures
- Holding Company Structures: Potential benefits from participation exemptions for qualifying shareholdings
- Foreign Tax Credits: Availability of foreign tax credits to prevent double taxation
- CFC Rules: Consideration of controlled foreign company rules when structuring foreign subsidiaries
- Free Zone Benefits: Strategic use of qualifying free zone entities that may benefit from preferential tax treatment
International structures established before the corporate tax implementation may need review and potential restructuring to remain tax-efficient. Our international tax team can assess your existing structures and recommend optimizations aligned with the new tax landscape.
UAE businesses with international operations face various reporting requirements:
- Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR): Large multinational groups must file detailed reports showing revenue, profit, tax, and activities by jurisdiction
- Common Reporting Standard (CRS): Financial institutions must report account information of foreign tax residents
- Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA): Reporting requirements for accounts held by US persons
- Economic Substance Regulations (ESR): Annual notifications and reports demonstrating adequate substance for certain activities
- Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO): Disclosure requirements for ownership structures
- Transfer Pricing Documentation: Master file, local file, and other documentation requirements in various jurisdictions
Non-compliance with these reporting obligations can result in significant penalties and reputational damage. Our team can help establish robust compliance processes to ensure all international reporting requirements are met accurately and on time.
