India–UAE tax treaty in brief
- Dividends from India to a UAE resident: 10% under the treaty (with a tax residency certificate and Form 41), instead of 20% plus surcharge and cess.
- Because the UAE has no personal income tax, residency evidence matters — keep your UAE tax residency certificate current.
- UAE corporate tax, VAT and audits are handled by UAE-licensed professionals; we coordinate with them on the India side.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an Indian CA in Dubai for NRI tax?
Yes. CA Durgesh Chavda, a Chartered Accountant (ICAI), has an office in Business Bay, Dubai, and handles Indian tax returns, property sales, repatriation and investments for UAE-based NRIs.
Do NRIs in Dubai pay tax in India?
Only on Indian income — rent, NRO interest, capital gains and dividends. An Indian citizen with Indian income over ₹15 lakh who isn't taxed anywhere else can be treated as resident (RNOR), which matters for UAE residents.
What is the dividend tax rate for UAE residents under the India–UAE DTAA?
10% under the treaty, with a tax residency certificate and Form 41, compared with 20% plus surcharge and cess without it.
