What is Double Taxation?
Double taxation occurs when a person or business is taxed twice on the same income—once in the source country where the income is earned, and again in the residence country. This can severely affect your profitability and cash flow if not managed correctly.
The UAE has signed numerous DTAAs (Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements) to eliminate or reduce this burden and to encourage international trade and investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the UAE’s Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement benefit me?
DTAA treaties help residents avoid being taxed twice on the same income, offer reduced withholding tax rates, and promote tax certainty for cross-border business.
Do I need a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) to claim DTAA benefits?
Yes. A TRC issued by the UAE Ministry of Finance is mandatory to prove residency and claim benefits under any DTAA.
What types of income are usually covered under DTAAs?
Typically, DTAAs cover dividends, interest, royalties, capital gains, salaries, business profits, and pensions, depending on the treaty terms.
Can individuals and freelancers also benefit from DTAAs?
Absolutely. As long as you’re a tax resident in the UAE and your income is taxed abroad, you may qualify for relief.
