Asia0% tax

No personal income tax — typically nothing is owed on this income. Corporate tax (9% above AED 375k profit) only bites if turnover exceeds AED 1M and Small Business Relief doesn't apply.

How it's classified

Business income of a natural person under Federal Corporate Tax. No personal income tax exists.

Tax rate

0% personal income tax. Corporate tax only if in-scope: 0% up to AED 375,000 taxable income, 9% above — and only if turnover exceeds AED 1M.

Social contributions

No social security on expats' self-employment income (only UAE/GCC nationals).

Registration / regime

Register for Corporate Tax only if turnover > AED 1M/year. Small Business Relief (≈0% CT) where revenue ≤ AED 3M through end-2026. A freelance permit is generally needed.

Crypto payouts

Receiving USDC doesn't change the outcome — no CGT, no personal income tax.
