Tax, plainly

Your employment salary is not income-taxed in the UAE. Gratuity is not a pension you can ignore — it is the end-of-service stack, calculated on basic, not on allowances.

Salary income tax
0%
VAT on most goods
5%
Corporate tax
On business profits, not your wage
  • Your employment salary is not income-taxed in the UAE.
  • Gratuity is not a pension you can ignore — it is the end-of-service stack, calculated on basic, not on allowances.
  • You still pay 5% VAT on most retail, restaurants and services.
  • Municipality / tourism dirhams appear on hotel bills.
  • Corporate tax is a company topic.
  • Do not confuse a Golden Visa property purchase with a tax holiday on a side hustle you have not registered.

Practical notes, not official law. Confirm on ICP, MOHRE, RTA, KHDA and your employer before you act.
