United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates which were united on 2nd of December
1971. The Emirates are Abu Dhabi (the capital and territorially the largest), Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al
Khaimah, Ajman, Um Al Quwain and Al Fujairah. United Arab Emirates area excluding the affiliated
isles amounts to 83.600 Square Kilometers. Despite its small size, the UAE has become an important
player in regional and international affairs. There are over 200 different nationalities residing in the
UAE making it one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world.
Economic Structure
The UAE has an open economy with a high per capita income and a sizable annual trade surplus.
Successful efforts at economic diversification have reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and gas
output to 25%. Since the discovery of oil in the UAE more than 30 years ago, the country has undergone
a profound transformation from an impoverished region of small desert principalities to a modern state
with a high standard of living. The economy of the United Arab
Emirates is the second largest in the Arab world (after Saudi Arabia), with a GDP of US$570 billion (AED
2.1 trillion) in 2014.
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

11. 11
Legal Framework
The UAE federal constitution provides for an allocation of powers between the federal government and
the government of each emirate. Dubai is subject to the federal law of the UAE but retains the right
to administer its own internal affairs and enjoys certain other exclusive rights. Dubai’s legal system
is founded upon civil law principles (most heavily influenced by Egyptian law) and Islamic Sharia law,
the latter constituting the guiding principle and source of law. In Dubai and other civil law jurisdictions,
legislation tends to be formulated into a number of major codes providing for general principles of law
with a significant amount of subsidiary legislation. The influx of regional and international commercial
enterprises to Dubai and the UAE over the last 30 years, has resulted in an expanding and increasingly
comprehensive body of federal legislation being established in the form of federal codes of law. In 2011
the UAE Federal Cabinet has approved a new Company Law that paves the way for more relaxed foreign
ownership above the existing ceiling of 49 percent in the future. In addition, the new law allows for a
simplified process of starting a business in the UAE and strengthens protection of shareholders.
Tax Framework
There are no taxes levied by the Federal Government on income or wealth of companies and individuals.
An income tax decree has been enacted by each Emirate, but in practice, the enforcement of these
decrees is restricted to foreign banks and to oil companies. Investment laws, regulations and incentives
are continuously improving to encourage further foreign investment. This includes the introduction of
foreign ownership of land and stocks – Dubai became the first emirate within the UAE to open its
property market to foreign ownership, followed by Abu Dhabi.
