Withholding Tax Advisory Services in UAE
What is Withholding Tax?
Withholding Tax (WHT) is a tax deducted at the source from certain payments made to non-residents or overseas entities. The deducted amount is submitted to the relevant tax authority by the payer on behalf of the recipient.
While the UAE currently does not impose withholding tax, businesses dealing with international transactions must consider WHT rules applicable in other jurisdictions.
When Does Withholding Tax Apply?
- Payments made to overseas companies or non-resident entities
- Dividends and profit distributions to foreign shareholders
- Interest payments made across borders
- Royalties and licensing fee payments
- Other international transactions subject to foreign tax regulations
