FREE ZONES IN THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

UAE

 

 

Free Trade Zones were created with the specific purpose of facilitating inward investment and, as a consequence, the Company formation procedures have been made relatively simple.

Companies operating in a Free Zone are treated as being outside of the UAE for legal purposes and this makes free zone incorporation particularly suitable for businesses intending to use the UAE as a regional manufacturing or distribution base, with the bulk of their trading activity carried on elsewhere in the world.

Free zone incentives include:

– 100% foreign Company ownership

– Exemption from any and all import duties

– Freedom from corporate taxation for a 50 year period

– 100% repatriation of capital and profits

– Inexpensive energy

– Easy access to a skilled and experienced workforce

– Excellent administrative support
