Compared to your home country (35% rate), living in the UAE saves you an estimated AED 84,000/yr — that's $84,000/yr more in your pocket.
UAE residents who spend 183+ days/year in the country may be able to end tax residency in their home country — but rules vary. Consult a cross-border tax advisor for your situation.
VAT (5%) was introduced in the UAE in 2018 and applies to most goods and services. It's one of the lowest VAT rates globally — adding minimal impact to your cost of living.
