Digital products, subscriptions, dropshipping — structured for zero tax leakage with dollar payment rails from week one.
Digital products, SaaS subscriptions, and services sold to customers outside the UAE are zero-rated exports. Dropshipping where goods ship from your supplier straight to a customer abroad sits outside the scope of VAT entirely — and zero-rated status lets you reclaim VAT on local costs.
The UAE has none — on salary, dividends, or personal investments.
First AED 375,000 of profit at 0%; Small Business Relief under AED 3M revenue (through end of 2026). Above those limits, service income is taxed at 9% — still among the lowest real rates anywhere.
The honest math: a store doing US$400K a year with US$90K profit pays $0. A SaaS clearing US$700K profit pays 9% only on the slice above the threshold — and plans for it a year in advance, because we flagged it.
First AED 375,000 of profit at 0% for everyone; Small Business Relief below AED 3M revenue is currently legislated through end of 2026. Conditions apply — keeping you inside them is our job.
