The Main Benefits of a UAE Company
The United Arab Emirates is recognized around the world for its top class business credentials.
As many of you are aware, there are numerous, specialized free trade zones throughout the UAE. These free zones were created in order to attract foreign investors to the Emirates. The free zones or administrative units are under the direct control of the state authority that carries out the licensing of business activities in each territory.
It is well known that the main attractiveness of the UAE free zones lies in the ease of setting up and running successful businesses. The UAE is the perfect place for new company formations.

- 0% income tax rate
- 0% tax on sales, wealth and capital
- 100% exemption from import and export custom duties
- Option for 100% repatriation of capital and profits with zero restrictions
- 0% surprises / restrictions

More on the Rebound of UAE’s Non-Oil Economic Growth…
The report on the UAE’s non-oil private sector states that the next 12 months or so look positive and it is expected that this encouraging economic scenario will continue for the UAE’s non-oil private sector. Companies will enjoy higher profits and cash flows and will start to employ more staff.
Moreover, UAE’s non-oil economy will continue to strengthen from a spur in investment and trade for Dubai Expo 2020.
According to the IMF mission to the UAE, the non-oil Gross Domestic Product is forecast to increase by 3.3% this year and the budget deficit is forecast to shrink to 4.5% of GDP. IMF reported that the UAE will eliminate its deficit by 2022 as VAT being introduced from the beginning of next year will increase state revenues.
It is pleasing to note that one in five companies has forecasted an increase in output for the next year and has embarked on robust marketing campaigns with new, exciting projects in the pipeline.
These are indeed encouraging signs. It really looks like the UAE’s non-oil economy has bounced back from the last couple of belt-tightening years.
