Are there rules limiting talabat's fees in the UAE?

No cap on talabat's UAE commission was found in the sources checked. General competition rules apply (Cabinet Decision 59, effective 20 July 2026) and Dubai has sector guidelines. Federal guidelines are expected, with no date.

• Competition law: Cabinet Decision 59, effective 20 July 2026, puts the rules of the 2023 Competition Law into operation.
• Dubai: on its Q2 2026 call, talabat said Dubai already has sector-specific guidelines. Their text wasn't located.
• Federal: talabat expects federal guidelines but gave no date.
• Antitrust: talabat's 2025 annual report says proceedings in Kuwait and the UAE are ongoing, with possible fines or contract revisions. It names no case.
• Kuwait, by contrast, caps the platform's take at 17%. For the UAE, see talabat commission in the UAE.
