Should I buy Dubai property in my personal name or through a company?
For one to three residential properties, personal ownership is usually most tax-efficient, no corporate tax and minimal admin. A company or SPV adds 9% CT exposure but gives liability separation and succession planning; Small Business Relief can neutralise CT for companies under AED 3 million revenue (available until 31 December 2026). Your real exposure depends on your tax residency, not Dubai. Get advice.
