Do I have to pay tax on my Dubai rental income?

For individuals owning property personally, no - rental income is tax-free, with no personal income tax and residential rent exempt from VAT. UAE Corporate Tax (9%) only applies if you hold the property through a licensed company, and commercial (not residential) leases carry 5% VAT. Non-residents pay nothing locally but may owe tax in their home country.
