Waar Verenigde Arabische Emiraten past in een structuur

Gebruikelijke rol · Real operating base with residence

The UAE company is where the family office or business genuinely runs from: it can own businesses, receive management fees, employ staff and bank locally. A qualifying free-zone company keeps 0% on qualifying income; mainland companies, and free-zone companies that don't qualify, pay 9% on profits above AED 375,000. It relies on real activity in the UAE, which is what makes its tax residency certificate usable.

Waar het van afhangtIt needs a real office, real staff and real board meetings in the UAE, so it costs more to run, and a Golden Visa alone doesn't make you tax resident: you need 183 days there, or 90 days plus a UAE home and your main financial and personal life there.

Een bankrekening openen

UAE banking is deep and easy to access for companies with a real local presence. Free-zone companies bank easily when the owner lives in the UAE, less easily when the owner lives abroad. Private banks in the DIFC and ADGM serve wealthy international clients with clean paperwork.

Zo werkt de belasting hier

Federal company tax is 9% on profits above AED 375,000 for mainland companies and free-zone companies that don't qualify. Qualifying free-zone companies keep 0% on qualifying income. No personal income tax, no capital gains tax for individuals and no inheritance tax. VAT is 5%.

Echte aanwezigheid, en wie de eigenaren kan inzien

The UAE genuinely checks for real presence — a real office, real staff, real board meetings in the country. That makes it credible to other countries, and makes its tax residency certificates usable. It also costs more to run — a UAE structure isn't a cheap shell.

Wanneer u hiervoor kiest

Choose the UAE when the family, founder or business genuinely operates from the region, when 0% free-zone tax on real activity is achievable, and when the tax residency certificate needs to stand up to checks by another country's tax office.
