How much salary can you actually draw from your own company? 🏛️
Under UAE Corporate Tax, "pay yourself market value" is the advice everyone repeats. But arm's length isn't one question — it's four:
1️⃣ Your profile
2️⃣ The role's market rate
3️⃣ The cost to replace you
4️⃣ Can the business afford it?
A salary must reflect real work — before the amount even matters.
⚠️ Sole establishment? You and the business are the same taxable person — no salary to deduct.
✅ Single-owner LLC? A genuine, market-rate salary can be deductible.
Get it wrong and you lose the deduction.
