Frequently Asked Questions

Three main types: Freezone Company (100% ownership, no UAE market access, fast setup), Mainland Company (full UAE market access, physical office required), and Offshore Company (no UAE office, for international business and asset holding).

Costs vary significantly. Budget options (IFZA, Sharjah freezone) start from AED 12,000–20,000/year. Mid-range freezones (DMCC) cost AED 20,000–40,000/year. Mainland licences depend on office rent. DIFC is premium at AED 50,000+.

Dubai has 0% personal income tax and 0% dividend tax. A 9% federal corporate tax applies on profits above AED 375,000 (approx. ₹84 lakh) since June 2023. Qualifying Freezone entities may maintain 0% tax on qualifying income.

Yes. Freezone and offshore company setups can be completed 100% remotely — documents submitted digitally, signed remotely, and incorporation documents sent by courier. Mainland companies may require a UAE notary visit.

Transfer profits from your UAE company to India through SWIFT bank transfer. India permits repatriation under FEMA. The amount remitted may be subject to Indian income tax as dividend or business income depending on the structure.
