If you own a company in Dubai and want to pay yourself a salary, there are important rules to follow. It’s legal to pay yourself, and it can count as a company expense but only if you have a formal employment contract, process the salary through payroll, and the amount matches your role. Taking money randomly without these steps isn’t allowed, could cause accounting problems, and might lead to issues during audits. Remember, just because you own the company doesn’t mean you can treat company funds as personal money. Plan carefully to avoid costly mistakes.
