Does It Make Sense to Buy Property in Dubai Through a Company?<\/h1>\n

For a single flat, usually not; buying in your own name is simpler and more tax-efficient.<\/strong> In the United Arab Emirates, an individual\u2019s rental income from property is outside corporate tax whatever the amount. If you buy the same flat through a company, the rental income can fall under 9% corporate tax on annual profit above AED 375,000, on top of the company\u2019s set-up and annual renewal costs. A company structure makes more sense when several partners buy together, when many properties are held, or when succession planning is the priority.<\/p>\n\n

Which companies can hold title in Dubai<\/h2>\n

In areas open to foreigners, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) issues title deeds to certain types of company as well as to individuals. Companies set up in the UAE and offshore companies from approved registries are included. The documents the DLD requires differ by registry and company type; before setting up a company, confirm that your chosen structure can hold title in Dubai.<\/p>\n\n
