These are the advantages of setting up a company in the UAE
More and more entrepreneurs are deciding to set up a company in Dubai - especially among influencers, the UAE is becoming increasingly popular as a business location. This is due to the various advantages of setting up a company in the UAE.
Tax benefits
Incorporating in the UAE offers you tax privileges: only 5% VAT is due, profits and income are not directly taxed (exception: since June 2023 9% corporate income tax is due for mainland companies). In addition to various exemption options, you receive the benefits of low customs duties (4%) and the repatriation of capital and profits.
Government incentives
The UAE offers a variety of stately incentives for startups. Institutions such as the Dubai Startup Hub, the interdisciplinary Dubai 100 program, and Dubai Future Accelerators provide valuable support and funding.
Economically attractive Free Zones
Dubai has numerous economically advantageous free trade zones, e.g. Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City. Thus, favorable office rents, various tax benefits, pleasant working conditions as well as numerous mentoring programs are among the advantages for your company start-up in the UAE.
Before you start your business, however, you should also consider other things: You must prove that you have an actual place of business in the UAE, and you should also be prepared for bureaucratic effort and the loss of EU benefits (free internal market and trade across national borders, single currency, etc.). Once you have weighed up the pros and cons of setting up a company in the UAE, you can make an informed decision.
The right choice for your company formation: The company forms in the UAE at a glance
When setting up your company in the UAE, you have the choice between different company forms: You can establish a Freezone, a Mainland or an Offshore company.
Freezone companies
Freezone is enormously popular for setting up a company in Dubai. No offices are required, no taxes are incurred, and the company is exempt from customs duties. Profits can be repatriated in full.
Mainland companies
Mainland is the classic choice for local business - in some cases a Local Partner is required. Since June 2023 there is 9% corporate tax, but this type of company has a much better image among banks, customers and partner companies.
Offshore companies
Offshore companies can be established easily in the UAE, but as an entrepreneur you cannot open a bank account and are not entitled to a visa. This form is suitable for increased demands for anonymity.
We at StartBusiness support you from the beginning with your company formation in the UAE. This also includes advice on the appropriate form of business for your purposes - just contact us!
What are the costs of setting up a company in the United Arab Emirates?
Setting up a business in Dubai also costs money - how much specifically depends on the type of business (Freeland or Mainland) and other various factors:
- Travel to Dubai
- Rent for rooms / offices
- Notaries
- Registration costs
- Costs for the Dubai Residence Visa
