FAQ Freezone in Dubai
What are the main advantages of a Free Zone company in Dubai?
Setting up a company in Dubai's Free Zone offers a number of tangible advantages for entrepreneurs. Firstly, 100% foreign ownership is possible, without the need for a local partner. Taxation is particularly advantageous: 0% corporate tax on qualifying income, no personal income tax, and no import/export duties. What's more, you can fully repatriate your capital and profits, and benefit from a residence visa for you and your family. The business environment is dynamic, with high-quality infrastructure and simplified regulations for international trade.
How much does it cost to set up a company in Dubai's Free Zone?
The cost of setting up a company in a Free Zone varies according to a number of factors. Initial fees can range from AED 11,500 to AED 70,000, depending on the zone chosen (for example, Dubai South is often the cheapest), the type of license and the number of visas required. Annual costs include license renewal, office rental (flexi-desk or physical space) and management fees. For an accurate estimate, we recommend consulting an expert or obtaining a customized quote, as each project has specific needs.
Can I own 100% of a Free Zone company in Dubai?
Yes, a Free Zone company in Dubai allows 100% foreign ownership without the need to partner with an Emirati citizen. This is one of the main advantages over the traditional (Mainland) market, where, although 100% foreign ownership is now possible for certain activities, a local agent may be required. In Free Zone, the process is simplified and tailored to international entrepreneurs wishing to take full control of their business.
What are the key steps in setting up a company in Dubai's Free Zone?
There are several key stages in setting up a company in a free zone. First, choose a free zone suitable for your business (DMCC, DWC, etc.). Next, prepare the required documents: passport, proof of address, business plan and application form. Once submitted, the free zone authority issues the business license, which then enables you to apply for a residence visa and open a business bank account. The whole process usually takes between 5 and 10 working days if the application is complete.
What are the tax obligations for a company in Dubai's Free Zone?
The tax obligations of a company in Dubai's Free Zone depend on its income. A 9% corporate tax applies only to profits exceeding AED 375,000 per year, with a rate of 0% below this threshold. VAT (5%) is payable if annual turnover exceeds AED 375,000, but registration with the Federal Tax Authority is mandatory for all companies. It is essential to keep accurate accounts and meet filing deadlines to avoid penalties.
