Company Registration in UAE
The largest Arab business center with developed infrastructure (Dubai, Abu Dhabi). UAE uses zero tax rate (in most free zones - no corporate or personal tax). Attracts startups and corporations (fintech, real estate, trading), and Golden Visa programs allow obtaining residency through investment. Since 2023, a 9% corporate tax was introduced for large companies, but still 0% for most SMEs. Restrictions: operating outside free zones usually requires a local partner (51% citizens) and there are new substance requirements for economic activity reporting.
