Doing business in the UAE

Software for the UAE: VAT, Corporate Tax and WPS

UAE systems need to handle federal VAT, the newer Corporate Tax regime and salary payments through the Wage Protection System.

Tax & e-invoicing

VAT at 5% has applied since 2018 and is filed with the Federal Tax Authority. A federal Corporate Tax of 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000 applies to financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023.

Payroll & employment

Private-sector salaries are paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS), and end-of-service gratuity has to be accrued for each employee under the UAE Labour Law.

Data protection

Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 (the PDPL) covers personal data onshore, while the DIFC and ADGM free zones run their own data-protection regimes.

Payments & local practice

The UAE moved its official weekend to Saturday and Sunday in 2022. Arabic and English are both used in business, so invoices and documents are often bilingual.
