Wealthy Indians are increasingly relocating to UAE — not just for lifestyle upgrades, but for smart tax planning.

Why?
• UAE has zero personal income tax and zero capital gains tax on properties held by Individuals.
• The India–UAE DTAA (tax treaty) allows UAE residents to make certain incomes almost tax-free, even if sourced from India!

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗨𝗔𝗘 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁:
• Mutual Fund Gains: Can be sold tax-free under DTAA!
• Interest Income: Tax-free on NRE deposits; only 10% tax on other deposits (instead of 30%).
• Dividend Income: Taxed at just 10% instead of 20%.
• Global Salary & Business Income: 0% UAE tax — full savings!
(Note: Capital gains from Indian property and shares are still taxed in India.)

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗶𝗽:
• India’s tax year is April–March, but UAE’s tax year is the calendar year (Jan–Dec).
• Best strategy: Move to the UAE early (April or May) and stay for more than 183 days until December — this helps you qualify as UAE tax resident and as non-resident in India for that financial year.

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝘆:
1. Move early (April or May) to UAE and stay 183+ days until December.
2. Obtain a UAE residence visa (employment, business setup, or Golden Visa).
3. Apply for UAE Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) after completing stay.
4. File Form 10F in India when claiming tax benefits.
5. Convert Indian accounts to NRE/NRO, update banks, brokers.
6. Claim reduced TDS rates for dividends and interests.
7. File Indian tax returns correctly as an NRI with DTAA exemptions.
8. Track your stay in India carefully — don’t exceed 120 days if your Indian income exceeds ₹15 lakh/year.

𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗽:
Apply for the UAE Golden Visa — a 5–10 year visa offering full residency freedom without job dependency, ensuring long-term tax advantages.
