Advisory on Double Tax Avoidance

Eliminating Redundancy, Enhancing Value: Strategic Double Tax Avoidance Advisory in the UAE

In a globally connected economy, double taxation poses a critical challenge for businesses engaged in cross-border operations, investments, or restructurings. Without careful tax planning, income can be taxed in multiple jurisdictions—eroding profitability and creating compliance complexities. Double Tax Avoidance (DTA) strategies are therefore not just a safeguard—they are essential for financial efficiency and legal clarity. At ASC Group, our Double Tax Avoidance Advisory Services help you navigate the complexities of international tax treaties, local Corporate Tax law, and OECD principles to prevent the same income from being taxed twice. We assist in treaty eligibility assessments, structuring of cross-border transactions, permanent establishment (PE) analysis, and documentation to support treaty claims. Whether you're expanding into new markets or restructuring existing operations, our experts ensure your tax exposures are minimized, benefits under relevant tax treaties are fully utilized, and compliance with UAE and global tax frameworks is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

A1: Double taxation occurs when the same income is taxed in two different countries. It can be avoided by applying the provisions of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs), which allocate taxing rights between countries and allow businesses to claim exemptions, reduced tax rates, or foreign tax credits.

A2: With the introduction of UAE Corporate Tax and increased international tax scrutiny, businesses involved in cross-border transactions must ensure they’re not paying tax on the same income twice. Expert advisory helps assess treaty eligibility, apply the correct tax treatment, and maintain proper documentation to support claims.

A3: DTAAs typically cover dividends, interest, royalties, capital gains, business income, and service fees. The applicable tax rate or exemption depends on the treaty between the UAE and the other jurisdiction, as well as the structure of the transaction and tax residency status.

A4: Businesses must maintain a valid Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) issued by the UAE Federal Tax Authority, along with supporting agreements, invoices, and declarations. Some jurisdictions may also require filing of specific forms or evidence of beneficial ownership.

A5: ASC Group delivers a comprehensive analysis of applicable tax treaties, strategic recommendations for structuring cross-border income, guidance on documentation and compliance, and support in claiming treaty relief or resolving disputes with tax authorities.
