UAE CORPORATE TAX — DIRECTORS & OFFICERS

Under Connected Person rules, titles alone don’t determine status.

The FTA looks at actual authority and responsibilities.

→ Director: Board member or equivalent
→ Officer: Has genuine decision-making or management authority
→ Routine Staff: Generally not an Officer without such authority

Why it matters:
Payments to Directors/Officers must meet Market Value requirements to be deductible and may require disclosure.

Substance matters more than titles.
