The procedure for registering a company in the UAE

There are two ways to open a company in the UAE: registration of a free zone company and registration of a local company. Opening an offshore company in the Emirates is possible only in some free zones.

The opening of a local company in the United Arab Emirates is carried out outside the free zones.

A local company can conduct commercial activities both in the United Arab Emirates and abroad.

An offshore company can only carry out commercial activities outside the UAE.

Foreigners can own 100% of shares of “local” UAE companies from June 1, 2021. That is, foreigners, starting from June 1, 2021, will no longer need a UAE citizen as a “local” shareholder to own “local” UAE companies.

In the free economic zone DMCC, you can create a company in the UAE without visiting the United Arab Emirates. If a DMCC company trades within the DMCC or outside the UAE, then the company will not have to pay VAT in the United Arab Emirates. The time to open a DMCC company is approximately 15-25 business days.

Tax

In the UAE, there are no taxes on corporate and personal income, as well as taxes on dividends.

Since January 1, 2018, the VAT in the UAE is 5%. However, for the export of goods and services, as well as for international passenger or freight transport and for transactions with residential real estate, a zero VAT rate is applied.
