What is WPS (Wage Protection System)?
The Wage Protection System (WPS) is an electronic salary transfer system that allows MOHRE to track and monitor salary payments. All private sector employers in the UAE must pay salaries through WPS-approved banks and exchange houses. Salaries must be paid within the timeframe specified in the employment contract.
Are there payroll taxes in the UAE?
No, the UAE does not have payroll taxes for private sector employees. The only mandatory contribution is GPSSA pension for UAE/GCC nationals (5% employee, 12.5% employer). There is no social security, income tax, or national insurance withholding for expatriate employees.
