Offshore Company Formation in Dubai

Offshore company incorporation in UAE

Offshore Companies in UAE

Offshore companies, also known as non-resident companies, are established business entities. Companies can be owned by individuals, corporations and can be under 100% foreign ownership. The main purpose of an offshore company is that it will not be eligible for tax in certain countries; and are therefore effective ways to enhance wealth through a reduction of taxation obligation.

The UAE is an excellent choice for potential offshore incorporation. First and foremost, the access to 0% taxation comes with a high level of anonymity and a lack of auditing, meaning that companies incorporating in the UAE can go about their business without interruption. Indeed, offshore companies in general are effective ways of cutting down on a range of tax payments, such as Capital Gains Tax, VAT, earnings profits and property sales.

Benefits of Offshore Companies

Offshore company incorporation in the UAE is an excellent choice due to its high level of anonymity, low requirements for entry and lack of accounting and auditing.

The process of establishing an offshore company can be done remotely, with no requirement for shareholders or directors to travel and no need to obtain a residency visa. In addition, you do not need to have a physical office within the UAE, nor do you have to conduct business within the country itself.

The UAE is extremely flexible with its allowances for offshore incorporation. You have the option of either holding international or UAE-based bank accounts and deposits and nominated directors and / or shareholders may be corporate residents, UAE residents or residents of other companies, with 100% foreign ownership possible.

Your offshore company will be located in one of the UAE free zones, allowing for free trade movement with no taxation, which were established in order to encourage economic activity in the area. Your company can be licensed for specific activities and you also have the flexibility to own and trade real estate properties within the UAE, upon authority approval.

The UAE has an excellent image worldwide, with a globally recognised jurisdiction that is free from the stigma of being a tax haven. That said, Intellectual Property and assets are well-protected, and corporate law is robust.
