What's Included

Everything You Need, Handled

Double-Tax Treaty Planning

We use the UAE’s treaty network to reduce withholding tax and stop the same income being taxed in two countries.

We assess whether your activities create a taxable presence abroad — or a foreign PE in the UAE — and manage the exposure.

Withholding Tax Relief

We help structure dividends, interest, royalties and fees to minimise foreign withholding tax lawfully.

Transfer Pricing

We set and document arm’s-length pricing for related-party flows under OECD-aligned UAE rules.

Economic Substance

We help UAE entities meet substance requirements so structures are respected by foreign tax authorities.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do UAE double-tax treaties help my business?+

The UAE has one of the world’s largest treaty networks. Treaties allocate taxing rights between countries, reduce or eliminate withholding tax on cross-border dividends, interest and royalties, and prevent the same income being taxed twice — provided you hold a valid TRC and meet the conditions.

What is permanent establishment and why does it matter?+

A permanent establishment is a taxable presence — a branch, office, or dependent agent — that can pull your profits into another country’s tax net. Managing where you have a PE is central to controlling your global tax cost and avoiding surprise foreign liabilities.

Does UAE Corporate Tax change my cross-border planning?+

Yes. With UAE Corporate Tax in force, foreign and related-party transactions now carry transfer pricing, substance and PE implications locally as well as abroad. We align your international structure with both UAE and foreign rules so it holds up on every side.

Do I still need substance in the UAE?+

Yes. Real substance — people, premises and decision-making in the UAE — is what makes your residency and treaty claims credible to foreign authorities. We assess your substance and help strengthen it where structures depend on it.
