Yacht charter in Dubai: How do I pay for a yacht?

The cost of renting a yacht in Dubai may vary depending on the company providing the services.

Main payment methods:
Bank transfer: one of the most common payment methods, especially when booking in advance. The company provides you with the details for the transfer, and you make the payment through your bank. It is important to keep in mind that bank transfers can take several days, so it is recommended to do this in advance.
Credit/Debit cards: Many companies accept credit and debit cards from Visa, Mastercard, American Express and other popular payment systems. This payment method is usually the fastest and most convenient.
Cash: Cash payment is possible, especially if you book the yacht directly on site. Keep in mind that yacht rental amounts are usually significant, so it is better to clarify in advance the possibility of paying in cash and limits.
Online payment systems: Some companies may accept payments through popular online payment systems such as PayPal.

Important points when paying:
Deposit: specify the amount and conditions of the deposit. A deposit is usually paid to cover possible damage to the yacht during the rental period and is refunded after the end of the lease if everything is in order with the yacht.
Prepayment: Many companies require prepayment (usually from 20% to 50% of the rental price) when booking a yacht.
Payment currency: Specify the currency in which the payment is accepted (usually UAE Dirhams (AED), US dollars (USD) or Euros (EUR)).
Additional expenses: specify which expenses are included in the rental price (captain’s services, fuel, insurance) and which are paid separately.
Fees: there are fees for making a payment (for example, the commission of a bank or payment system).
Payment confirmation: Be sure to keep the payment confirmation (bank transfer receipt or credit card receipt) until the end of the yacht rental.

What are the characteristics of the tax system in Dubai?

Dubai attracts businesses and investors due to the absence of personal income tax and corporate tax for most companies. This makes the city appealing to professionals and entrepreneurs. I spoke with expats who noted that the lack of income tax allows them to keep more of their earnings. However, since 2018, a 5% VAT (Value Added Tax) has been introduced on most goods and services. This step is aimed at diversifying government revenue. The overall tax system is transparent and streamlined, which facilitates doing business and stimulates economic activity.
