The new agreement ensures the 2010 tax treaty between Greece and UAE  and its 2013 protocol remain in force.

The updated agreement for the 2010 tax treaty between Greece and the UAE entered into effect on 18 September 2025, ensuring the 2010 Greece and UAE income and capital tax treaty and its 2013 protocol remain in force.

The treaty is retroactively effective from 18 December 2024, reinstating withholding tax rates at 5% for dividends, 5% for interest, and 10% for royalties. Payments taxed at higher domestic rates during the interim period may be eligible for refunds.

Earlier, Greece enacted Law 5228/2025 on 8 September 2025, ratifying the exchange of verbal notes with the UAE, ensuring the 2010 Greece–UAE income and capital tax treaty and its 2013 protocol remain in force.
