UAE · COMPANY FORMATION
MOSTAR handles UAE freezone incorporation from document preparation to company certificate. $1,000 MOSTAR fee + freezone license. 100% foreign ownership. ~1 week.
Why incorporate in the UAE
One of the world's leading business hubs with no personal income tax, a strong banking system, and global connectivity. Freezones give foreign investors 100% ownership and streamlined licensing.
Corporate tax (qualifying freezone)
0%
Freezone companies with qualifying income and sufficient economic substance can benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate. Federal corporate tax of 9% applies on taxable income above AED 375,000 (~$102,000) for non-qualifying income.
Personal income tax
0%
The UAE does not levy personal income tax on individuals. Salaries, investment income, and dividends received by UAE residents are not subject to personal income tax.
100% foreign ownership
Freezone
UAE freezones allow full foreign ownership with no local Emirati sponsor or partner required.
Registration speed
~1 week
Freezone company registration typically takes approximately 1 week from document submission to company certificate.
VAT
5%
5% VAT introduced in 2018. Most freezone companies selling exclusively outside the UAE are not required to register for VAT.
Global connectivity
Tier-1 hub
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are tier-1 global business and logistics hubs with strong international banking and multi-currency accounts.
