What is the dividend withholding rate between United Arab Emirates and Japan?
Under the United Arab Emirates-Japan tax treaty, the withholding rate on dividends is 10% for portfolio investors (general rate). A reduced rate of 5% applies when the beneficial owner is a company holding a qualifying ownership stake (typically 10% or more of voting stock). Note that the reduced rate requires the recipient to file the appropriate treaty benefit claim form before payment. This 10% rate compares to a median of 10% across United Arab Emirates's 21 active treaty partners, and 15% across Japan's 47 active partners.
