It’s a fresh start, and along with your resolutions, the UAE is rolling out some key changes this year. From environmental policies to taxes and new regulations, here’s what’s coming your way in 2025:

9. Emiratisation Targets
Private sector companies with 20 to 49 employees are now required to hire at least two Emirati citizens.

8. Single-Use Plastic Ban
Dubai is phasing out single-use plastics. Starting January 1, Styrofoam containers, cups, plastic stirrers, straws, table covers, and cotton buds with plastic stems will no longer be allowed.

7. Salik Surge Pricing
From late January, peak hour Salik toll charges will increase to AED 6.

6. Multinational Tax Hike
Large multinational companies will now pay a minimum 15% tax on profits, up from the previous 9% corporate tax rate.

5. Parking Pricing Policy
Parking fees near event zones will now cost AED 25 per hour during major events. This will start in February, initially around the Dubai World Trade Centre.

4. Sewerage Bill Increase
The sewerage fee has increased from 1 fil to 1.5 fils per gallon.

3. Lower Driving Age
A new decree lowers the minimum driving age to 17 years.

2. Alcohol Tax Returns
A 30% tax on alcoholic beverages has been reinstated, likely increasing prices in bars and restaurants.

1. EV Charging Fees
Electric vehicle charging stations will no longer be free. The new rates are:

  • AED 1.25/kWh + VAT for rapid DC chargers
  • AED 0.70/kWh + VAT for slower AC chargers

These changes signal the UAE’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and economic growth. Stay informed and adapt to make the most of what 2025 has to offer!
