UAE Music Licensing Fees Support but Concerns over Timing
The UAE intends to implement licensing fees for the commercial use of music within establishments starting December 1, 2026, with the aim of regulating the music market and protecting the rights of authors and creators. The system will include establishing annual fees based on the nature of the activity and the size of the establishment, covering sectors such as hospitality, entertainment, retail, sports, and media. This move is considered a positive step toward enhancing the creative content industry, but experts call for a gradual implementation and provisions to facilitate small and medium-sized entities to avoid the impact of additional costs on competitiveness and pricing.
