Lexara Weekly · 12 Jan 2026 – 18 Jan 2026

A quiet, routine week with minimal regulatory activity.

This week saw a notably low level of regulatory activity, with only one item published by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA), which is below its recent average of 2.3 items per week. No other authorities, such as the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), Ministry of Economy (MOE), Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), or Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), released any new items, maintaining their baseline activity levels. The sole publication, a Cabinet Decision on Corporate Tax Exemption for Qualifying Sports Entities, does not indicate any broader directional pattern or shift in regulatory focus. Overall, this week was quiet, with no significant developments or clusters of related items, providing a stable environment for compliance professionals in the UAE.
