Offshore company in the UAE: common questions
Is an offshore company in the UAE tax-free?
Not automatically. UAE federal corporate tax applies at 0% on the first AED 375,000 of a taxable person’s annual taxable income and 9% above that, under Cabinet Decision No. 116 of 2022 (Ministry of Finance). Whether a particular offshore or free zone entity is taxable, and what registration it needs, depends on its structure and activities, so confirm this before you register.
Which jurisdictions can I choose from?
We set up offshore entities in RAK International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC), JAFZA Offshore in Dubai, Ajman Free Zone (AFZ Offshore) and ADGM SPVs in Abu Dhabi. Rules, costs and permitted activities differ by jurisdiction, so we match the option to what you plan to do with the company.
What can I use an offshore company for?
Typical uses are international trading, holding investments, owning intellectual property, asset protection, estate planning and global consulting. Book a free consultation and we will confirm what is permitted for your plan.
