Output & Analysis

Gross Annual Return
$850,000
Net Annual Return
$595,000
Gross Yield 8.50%
US WHT Leakage -$255,000
UAE Tax Leakage -$0
Net Effective Yield 5.95%

Strategic Note

A 30% WHT reduces an 8.5% gross yield to 5.95% net. This 255bps drag highlights why sophisticated capital relies on portfolio interest exemptions, blocker corporations, or real estate capital gains strategies rather than raw yield.
