Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent.

The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Knowledge Pack — UAE Tax Law

## Scope

This pack covers the UAE federal tax framework as of 2026. The UAE introduced federal corporate income tax in 2023 (a historic shift), operates VAT at 5% since 2018, and in 2025 began applying a Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT) for large multinationals under the OECD Pillar Two framework. Despite these additions, the UAE remains a low-tax jurisdiction. Verify current FTA (Federal Tax Authority) guidance before advising on any specific position.

## Governing Authority

**Federal Tax Authority (FTA)** — administers Corporate Tax, VAT, and Excise Tax. Issues decisions, public clarifications, and binding private rulings (advance pricing arrangements available for CT).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thomasmoreai/legal-skills-open/kb-tax-uae-sboghossian@sha256:adb9178565836a1d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
