Dubai and Abu Dhabi now top the 2025 Tax Friendly Cities Index published in Multipolitan’s Wealth Report 2025, reinforcing the UAE’s position as one of the most attractive destinations for international entrepreneurs and investors. The index assessed 164 cities on tax rates, treaty networks, and legal and governance strength.

While often associated with UNWIs, the findings are just as relevant for European business owners and professionals seeking long-term growth in a stable, low-tax environment. With no personal income tax and favourable corporate structures, the UAE offers a compelling alternative to higher-tax jurisdictions.

This development is part of a broader trend across the Gulf, where countries are positioning themselves as secure, tax-efficient hubs for global business.
