There is no income tax, corporate income tax or business tax in Dubai. An exception is VAT, which is only 5%.
In order to fully benefit from the tax exemption in Dubai, you must deregister your residence in Germany and adhere to the so-called 183-day rule, i.e. that you may not stay in Germany for more than183days per year (6 months).
However,individual tax-saving models are also possible, which do not require emigration. If you want to continue to have your main residence in the DACH region, you benefit from amaximum tax rate of 25% by founding a company in Dubai.
In particular, online entrepreneurs, network marketers, traders, classic companies, coaches, digital nomads & influencers can benefit enormously from founding a company in the UAE.
After a free initial consultation, we will decide together whether and how we can support you in founding your company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). First, we analyze your current situation as well as your personal wishes and clarify all your questions.
Subsequently, in close cooperation with our tax consultants and lawyers, we develop an individual strategy on how you can legally save taxes. This strategy also implies finding the right corporate form and the necessary licenses.
Subsequently, we will provide you with checklists for the required documents.
After receiving your complete documents, we prepare the documents, we apply for your licenses, the establishment card and the desired company name. We do this process for you, you don’t have to be in Dubai.
Once we have your corporate license, you will travel to Dubai to apply for your visa, the so-called Emirates ID.
We will provide you with a German-speaking contact person and a personal chauffeur on site. Our team takes care of all appointments and accompanies you to all your appointments. After that, you pay 0% tax!
We cooperate with a German tax advisor who, together with you and your tax consultant, conducts a Zoom call and also informs you of potential risks. We want you not only to have a good feeling, but above all to be able to start your new life carefree and not follow a rude (expensive) awakening later. This initial consultation is included in our price – if there is no conclusion, we charge a one-time fee of 250 EUR.
How do you set up a company in Dubai and can you do it without emigrating? Do I need a partner “on site”, what requirements do I have to meet and how do I open a bank account? Are there negative interest rates in the UAE with high bank holdings and the most important question: Can I save taxes by a company in Dubai?
More and more people are asking themselves these questions. Be it because increasing digitalization often makes the actual place of work less and less important and you appreciate the good weather and the country – or because you simply want to save taxes as an entrepreneur or existing company.
We specialise in start-ups in Dubai and would like to provide answers to some of the most important questions below, but would like to point out that this information does not replace personal (and individual) advice and we are happy to provide further information.
Many entrepreneurs who are dealing with the topic of “business start-ups abroad” for the first time and have combed through the first websites on this topic initially think: This all sounds feasible and I can save the costs for the agency. And yes, you can start the company on your own, but from our point of view this is not really “the cheapest” solution.
If you’re building a house, you’re building it with an architect (unless you’re one yourself) or a developer – and trust the advice of the professionals so you don’t run out of sockets in the corners afterwards, the power lines in the kitchen are on the wrong wall, or a room doesn’t have a door.
We help you to avoid expensive mistakes and above all to save time and nerves: we know the authorities and ways, you get checklists of the documents to be provided from us, we find out together with you which type of company and which freezone is best suited for your purposes… we prepare everything for you and above all: we also take care of the account opening with our partners, an often lengthy and problematic undertaking if you try to do this as a private person from abroad. And: we are transparent!
As an agency, we get discounts on some of the state start-up fees, which we pass on 1:1, which clearly relativizes the “additional costs” through our agency services – in addition to the fact that we help you to avoid additional costs (longer stay on site, multiple entry due to missing documents, etc.) and loss of time (search of the responsible authorities, discussions with the banks, visa application, etc.).
No, even as a foreigner you can set up a company in Dubai alone, which then belongs to you alone. However, one should nevertheless keep an eye on the tax rules (especially “place of management”), so that a German tax liability of the income of the foreign company does not arise, which is precisely to be avoided.
If the company is founded, there is also the possibility for the company to open a bank account. These are regularly denominated in dirhams or USD, but there are also EUR accounts. However, the process is complicated and time-consuming, especially if you do not live locally. Here our good contacts to major banks help us (and you) so that the process runs quickly and without complications. “Negative interest rates” (or custody fees) are unknown in Dubai, there may even be positive interest on balances – depending on the currency in which the account is kept.
You only pay for the services you receive from us. If a company foundation through us does not work, you will be refunded the entire invoice amount by us – without ifs and buts!
