| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the difference between DFSA, SCA and FSRA licences? | The DFSA regulates firms in the Dubai International Financial Centre, the FSRA regulates Abu Dhabi Global Market, and the SCA regulates onshore UAE. All three are legitimate; the relevant question is which one your specific account is opened under. |
| Are swap-free accounts standard in the UAE? | They are widely offered but not automatic — most brokers require you to request Islamic status. Check whether the broker replaces the swap with an administration fee, which can be more expensive than the swap on positions held long term. |
| Is trading income taxed in the UAE? | The UAE does not levy personal income tax on individuals, so retail trading profits are generally untaxed. Corporate tax may apply if you trade through a company. This is general information, not tax advice. |
