Our Withholding Tax Advisory and Compliance Services for UK Businesses in Dubai

Withholding Tax Assessment and Analysis

We review your cross-border transactions — including payments for services, royalties, dividends, and interest — to identify potential withholding tax liabilities. For UK businesses expanding into Dubai, this ensures compliance with UAE regulations and helps you avoid unexpected tax costs.

Tax Treaty Optimization

The UK and the UAE, along with other jurisdictions, have Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) that provide reduced withholding tax rates or exemptions. We help UK companies leverage these treaties to minimize withholding tax exposure and maximize savings.

Withholding Tax Calculations and Compliance

Accurate calculation and timely remittance are essential. We assist UK businesses in determining the correct withholding tax on cross-border payments, ensuring compliance with UAE deadlines and avoiding costly penalties.

Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) Application and Support

To claim treaty benefits, UK businesses may need a UAE Tax Residency Certificate (TRC). We manage the application process, ensuring you qualify for reduced rates and exemptions under international agreements.

We handle the preparation and submission of all withholding tax returns and related reports in Dubai, ensuring that your UK business remains fully compliant with UAE tax authorities.

Cross-Border Tax Planning and Structuring

We provide strategic advice to structure your cross-border transactions in the most tax-efficient way. For UK businesses, this may include adjusting payment flows, renegotiating contracts, or creating tax-efficient corporate structures to minimize overall withholding tax.

Withholding Tax Refunds and Claims

If your UK business has overpaid withholding taxes in Dubai or internationally, we help you file claims for refunds, improving cash flow and recovering excess tax paid.
