Editorial Policy & Research Standards

1. Primary Source Attribution

We prioritize primary, publicly available government documentation and official publications:

• Federal Legislation: The Official Gazette of the UAE (e.g., Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 on Labour Relations and Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017 on Value Added Tax).
• Regulatory Authorities: Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE), Federal Tax Authority (FTA), and Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE).
• Market Benchmarks: Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG) retail board fixings and UAE Fuel Price Committee announcements.

2. Review Schedule & Timestamps

UAE employment, tax, and visa regulations can change. Important articles and computational tools are reviewed periodically and whenever significant new regulatory guidance is released. Articles display transparent publication and review dates to help readers evaluate the freshness of information.

3. Human Editorial Oversight & Formula Testing

Calculators are coded and tested across edge cases (e.g. leap years, probation periods, partial service months, maximum statutory caps under Article 51) to ensure the formulas faithfully reflect the statutory rules without broken outputs or rounding errors.

4. Corrections & Public Transparency

If an error, outdated figure, or broken link is found, we encourage readers to report it. We investigate all submissions and update the relevant content promptly. Visit our Report a Correction page to submit feedback.

5. Non-Governmental Independence

SmartUAE is an independent private educational website. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any UAE government entity. Information is provided for educational and estimation purposes and should not be substituted for formal legal, accounting, or judicial advice.
