The France–UAE Double Tax Treaty, first signed on 19 July 1989 and updated in 1993, is one such agreement. It sets out clear rules for how various types of income such as like salaries, dividends, capital gains, or business profits are taxed when money flows between France and the UAE. The treaty also explains what it means to be a “tax resident” and when a business is considered to have a “permanent establishment” in either country.
