UAE’s 2025 tax update: How real estate firms can save on fair-valued assets

UAE's Finance Ministry introduces Ministerial Decision No. 173/2025, enabling firms to deduct depreciation on investment properties measured at fair value, starting January 1, 2025. This allows up to 4% depreciation, fostering tax neutrality and equity between fair value and historical cost methods. The move enhances strategic tax planning and investor confidence in the UAE's real estate sector.
