Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement Between India And UAE: An Overview And Analysis

Abstract

The Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which was established in 1992, is to promote tax advantages for both countries and foster trade connections. This agreement aims to mitigate the issue of double taxation on income generated by enterprises and individuals in both countries. Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAA) are international treaties designed to prevent the imposition of duplicate taxes on income, wealth, and surtaxes levied on businesses, specifically those entities that are liable to be taxed in India. In the context of taxation, individuals who possess a permanent establishment in either India or the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are subjected to equivalent tax treatment. The agreement outlines the specific provisions on the taxation of individual income. Income from employment in a foreign country is subject to taxation in that country, unless the individual meets two conditions: (1) rendering services in the first country for at least 183 days per year, and (2) being a resident of the other country.
