Tax Benefits and Incentives: Attracting Businesses to UAE and Free Zones
Businesses around the world choose the UAE because it offers low tax rates, clear laws, and special incentives. Corporate tax in the UAE mainly affects sectors like oil, gas, petrochemicals, and foreign bank branches. In January 2018, the UAE also started Value Added Tax (VAT) at just 5%. This keeps the tax burden much lower than in many other countries.
Many companies also set up in Dubai Free Zones. These zones offer:
- 100% foreign ownership
- No import or export duties
- Full profit repatriation
- Long-term business stability
MFSCAS Auditing can help you find the right Free Zone, set up your business, and take advantage of every incentive available.
