FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to legally broker property in Dubai?+

You need a real estate brokerage trade licence, RERA registration with the Dubai Land Department, individual broker cards for your agents, and goAML registration for anti-money-laundering compliance. We arrange all four.

Why does a real estate brokerage need goAML?+

Real estate brokers are designated non-financial businesses and professions, so they must register on the goAML portal and report suspicious transactions. Non-compliance carries significant penalties, which is why we manage it for you.

Do I charge VAT on brokerage commission?+

Yes. Brokerage commissions on most property transactions are standard-rated at 5% VAT. Once turnover reaches AED 375,000 you must register and charge VAT on your commission invoices.
