Got questions about doing business in the UAE?
We’ve answered the most common questions founders, advisors and operators ask, from setup to tax, structure and compliance.
What are the tax benefits of a Dubai business?
Dubai offers 0% income tax on most business types, especially in free zones, making it very tax-friendly for companies.
How do free zone and mainland tax rules differ?
Free zone companies often enjoy tax holidays and full foreign ownership, while mainland companies may pay corporate tax and require a local partner in some cases.
How do foreign tax obligations affect a Dubai business?
If you’re a foreign owner, your home country might still tax you on income earned, depending on its rules. Dubai itself may not tax it, but your country might.
How does tax planning help with tax reporting?
Tax planning helps you legally reduce your tax bill and stay compliant with local laws — so you don’t face fines or penalties later.
How does tax planning impact a Dubai business setup?
Planning ahead helps you choose the right business structure and location (like a free zone) to save the most on taxes.
What tax factors affect fund transfers in and out?
The UAE doesn’t tax most fund transfers, but your home country might. Business profits may face corporate tax, and some countries may charge tax when you send or receive money. It’s smart to check both UAE rules and your country’s tax laws to avoid surprises.
