For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) earning income in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), taxation works differently compared to the US or UK. While there is no personal income tax in the UAE, NRIs engaged in business, property, or corporate structures must comply with new UAE tax laws, including Corporate Tax, VAT (Value Added Tax), and ESR filings.

At WizBiz Pvt. Ltd., we assist NRIs with UAE tax compliance, structuring, and filings to ensure complete legal protection and maximum efficiency while maintaining alignment with Indian tax obligations under the India–UAE Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).

🌍 Why NRIs Must Consider UAE Tax Filing

  • Corporate Tax (9%): Effective from June 2023, UAE levies a 9% corporate tax on business profits above AED 375,000.

  • VAT Compliance (5%): Businesses exceeding AED 375,000 annual turnover must register for VAT and file periodic returns.

  • Economic Substance Regulations (ESR): NRIs running companies in the UAE must file ESR reports if engaged in activities like banking, insurance, shipping, or holding company structures.

  • Transfer Pricing Rules: NRIs with UAE entities must maintain proper documentation to justify cross-border transactions.

  • Double Taxation Relief: While UAE has no personal tax, Indian tax laws may apply on global income unless structured carefully under DTAA.
