Before relocating to the UAE, it's important to understand its unique tax system+The UAE does not impose personal income tax on individuals. There is also no federal corporate tax, except for oil companies and foreign banks. A value-added tax (VAT) of 5% applies to most goods and services. Property tax, in the form of municipality fees, may apply in some emirates. Social security contributions are only required for UAE and GCC nationals, while expatriates working for UAE companies participate in an end-of-service gratuity scheme+The UAE does not have a double taxation treaty with the United States, but as there is no income tax, double taxation is generally not a concern for most individuals.
