Why

Dubai

?

The UAE has built one of the world world most business-friendly environments over the past two decades. A 0% personal income tax rate, 50+ free zones offering 100% foreign ownership, and a 9% mainland corporate tax rate that sits well below OECD averages combine with the country world position as a trade corridor between Asia, Africa, and Europe. The We the UAE 2031 Vision targets AED 3 trillion GDP and AED 4 trillion in total foreign trade. The Dubai D33 agenda separately targets AED 25.6 trillion in 10-year foreign trade. Both programmes carry concrete infrastructure investment and the policy framework to deliver them.

Key Industries

Trade and Wholesale

The UAE trade sector expanded 6.5% in the first nine months of 2025. CEPA agreements with 20+ countries have extended preferential market access into India, the UK, Indonesia, and Israel, among others — making the UAE one of the most connected re-export platforms in the world.

Technology and IT Services

GCC expansion, digital transformation

Financial Services

Growing at 9.0% in 2025, financial services are anchored by DIFC and ADGM — two internationally recognised financial centres operating under common law frameworks with independent regulators (DFSA and FSRA respectively). Both offer access to international arbitration and are structured for global firms.

Manufacturing

UAE manufacturing expanded 6.9% in 2025, supported by the Make it in the Emirates initiative and dedicated free zone clusters including Khalifa Industrial Zone (KIZAD) in Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) in Dubai. Both offer tax exemptions, 100% foreign ownership, and direct port access.

Real Estate and Construction

Real estate grew 7.9% and construction 8.7% in the first nine months of 2025, driven by sustained demand, population growth to 10.8 million, and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan — which targets a 134% increase in hotel and tourism land and designates 60% of the emirate as green and recreational space.

Technology and Digital

The Dubai D33 agenda targets top-three global city status for Dubai by 2033, with AED 25.6 trillion in 10-year foreign trade. Technology companies benefit from DIFC Innovation Hub, Abu Dhabi Hub71, and sector-specific free zones including Dubai Internet City and Dubai Silicon Oasis — each with 0% corporate tax on qualifying income.

Why the UAE

0% Personal Income Tax

Residents and employees in the UAE pay no personal income tax. For expatriate professionals and business owners relocating from the UK (45% top rate), the US (37%), or Germany (45%), the financial difference is material — not marginal. This applies to salaries, bonuses, dividends received personally, and capital gains on personal investments.

Free Zone Corporate Tax: 0%

Qualifying income earned within UAE free zones remains exempt from the 9% corporate tax introduced under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022. With 50+ free zones offering 100% foreign ownership, dedicated sector infrastructure, and simplified incorporation — companies can structure operations to maximise qualifying income while retaining the benefits of a UAE legal presence.

9% Mainland Corporate Tax

The UAE mainland corporate tax rate of 9% applies to taxable income above AED 375,000. Below that threshold, the effective rate is 0%. At 9%, this rate sits well below the OECD average of approximately 23% and compares with 25% in India, 19–25% in the UK, and 21% in the US — positioning the UAE as one of the most competitive rates among developed economies.

CEPA Trade Agreements

The UAE has signed Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements with 20+ countries, including India, the UK, Israel, Turkey, Indonesia, and Georgia. These agreements provide preferential tariff treatment, simplified rules of origin, and regulatory alignment — reducing friction for businesses trading between the UAE and signatory markets and strengthening the UAE's position as a global trade corridor.

We the UAE 2031 and Dubai D33

The federal We the UAE 2031 Vision targets AED 3 trillion GDP, AED 4 trillion in total foreign trade, and AED 800 billion in non-oil exports. The Dubai D33 agenda separately targets top-three global city status and AED 25.6 trillion in 10-year foreign trade. Both programmes carry concrete infrastructure investment, institutional reform, and regulatory commitment — providing a stable, predictable medium-term operating environment for businesses planning 5–10 year horizons.

Industry Expertise

Each sector in the UAE operates under different regulatory frameworks. Financial services entities fall under DFSA or FSRA jurisdiction depending on whether they sit in DIFC or ADGM. Manufacturing entities benefit from MOIAT oversight and free zone incentives. Real estate companies work within RERA and DLD frameworks. We serve businesses across all major UAE sectors with teams that understand sector-specific compliance at a working level.

Financial Services and Fintech

The UAE is home to DIFC and ADGM — two of the world's most recognised financial centres, operating under independent common law regulators (DFSA and FSRA). Financial services here grew 9.0% in the first nine months of 2025. Fintech companies benefit from regulatory sandboxes in both centres, with expedited licensing pathways for payment, lending, and investment platforms.

  • Why UAE: DIFC and ADGM offer international arbitration, common law framework, independent regulation, and direct access to GCC capital markets
  • VJM Global Services: DIFC/ADGM entity setup, DFSA/FSRA licensing support, AML/CFT compliance, financial statement audit under IFRS, transfer pricing for intercompany transactions, VAT advisory for financial services
  • Clients Served: 40+ financial services and fintech companies across the UAE

Trade and Logistics

Trade is the backbone of the UAE economy — accounting for 16.1% of non-oil GDP and expanding 6.5% in 2025. The UAE's 20+ CEPA agreements provide preferential access to markets covering over 2 billion consumers. With Jebel Ali as one of the world's top container ports and a re-export model built over 50 years, the UAE functions as the primary trade corridor between Asia, Africa, and Europe.

  • Why UAE: 50+ free zones with customs exemptions, 0% import duty on goods for re-export, CEPA agreements with India, UK, and 18+ others, world-class logistics infrastructure
  • VJM Global Services: Free zone entity setup, customs registration, VAT registration and filing, transfer pricing for trading entities, CBUAE and MoEI regulatory compliance, annual audit for trading companies
  • Clients Served: 35+ trading and logistics companies

Real Estate and Construction

Real estate grew 7.9% and construction 8.7% in the nine months to September 2025. The Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan targets a 134% increase in hotel and tourism land, while residential demand remains driven by population growth to 10.8 million and sustained investor interest across all price segments. RERA and DLD maintain transparent regulatory frameworks that international developers and investors operate within comfortably.

  • Why UAE: No capital gains tax on property, high rental yields (5–8% in key areas), long-term residency through Golden Visa for property investors, RERA-regulated transparent market
  • VJM Global Services: Developer entity setup and RERA registration, SPV structuring for real estate investments, VAT advisory (residential vs commercial), transfer pricing for related-party transactions, annual audit, DLD compliance
  • Clients Served: 20+ real estate and construction companies

Technology and SaaS

The Dubai D33 agenda positions Dubai among the world's top three cities by 2033, with technology and digital services a central pillar. Hub71 in Abu Dhabi and DIFC Innovation Hub in Dubai both offer grant funding, co-working infrastructure, and accelerated licensing for qualifying technology companies. Free zones including Dubai Internet City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Abu Dhabi's Masdar City provide 0% corporate tax on qualifying income with full foreign ownership.

  • Why UAE: 0% CIT on qualifying free zone income, D33 technology mandate, Hub71 and DIFC Innovation Hub incentives, strong regional SaaS and fintech market
  • VJM Global Services: Free zone selection and entity setup (DIC, DSO, DMCC Tech), corporate tax registration and qualifying income assessment, EOR for rapid talent hiring, transfer pricing for IP and software licensing, cloud ERP implementation, VAT compliance
  • Clients Served: 45+ technology and SaaS companies

Manufacturing

UAE manufacturing expanded 6.9% in 2025, underpinned by the Make it in the Emirates initiative and free zone clusters with direct port access. KIZAD (Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi) and JAFZA (Jebel Ali Free Zone) offer purpose-built industrial land, duty-free import of raw materials, and full repatriation of profits. The UAE's position on global shipping routes reduces logistics costs for manufacturers serving Asia, Europe, and Africa simultaneously.

  • Why UAE: KIZAD and JAFZA industrial clusters, duty-free raw material imports, proximity to Jebel Ali port, 0% CIT on qualifying free zone income, Make it in the Emirates incentives
  • VJM Global Services: Industrial free zone setup, factory licensing and permits, corporate tax registration, customs and trade compliance, transfer pricing for supply chain transactions, annual audit under IFRS, ERP implementation for manufacturing operations
  • Clients Served: 25+ manufacturing companies

Professional Services

The UAE is a natural base for professional services firms serving the GCC and broader MENA region. Law firms, consulting firms, management consultancies, and accounting practices operate from DIFC and ADGM under international regulatory frameworks, or from mainland Dubai under DED licensing. Low corporate tax, zero personal income tax, and strong infrastructure make talent acquisition and retention considerably easier than in most competing jurisdictions.

  • Why UAE: DIFC/ADGM for regulated professional services, DED licensing for general consultancy, 0% personal income tax aids talent retention, strong GCC client base within 2-hour flight range
  • VJM Global Services: Professional services entity setup (mainland and free zone), DFSA/FSRA professional licensing support, corporate tax registration, VAT compliance for professional services, annual audit, immigration and visa processing for professional staff
  • Clients Served: 30+ professional services firms

Why Companies Choose VJM for

Dubai

UAE and Gulf Market Expertise

VJM Global's UAE team has worked across mainland, DIFC, ADGM, and every major free zone. We understand how the 2023 corporate tax law applies in practice — which income qualifies, which transactions create taxable presence, and how the FTA interprets specific scenarios. That working knowledge comes from 250+ UAE client engagements, not from reading the legislation.

  • Direct experience with FTA audit processes and VAT dispute resolution
  • Practical knowledge of free zone qualifying income rules under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does VJM Global provide in the UAE?

VJM Global provides end-to-end business services across 18 categories in the UAE. These include entity setup (free zone, mainland, DIFC, ADGM), VAT registration and compliance, corporate tax registration and advisory, statutory and internal audit under IFRS, payroll and WPS compliance, legal and corporate secretarial services, transfer pricing documentation, virtual CFO advisory, ERP implementation, GCC setup and management, ESG reporting, and family office structuring. One firm covers everything your UAE business needs.

Should I set up a free zone or mainland company in the UAE?

The choice depends on your business model and client base. Free zone entities offer 100% foreign ownership, 0% corporate tax on qualifying income, and faster setup — but are restricted in their ability to trade directly with UAE mainland customers. Mainland entities (licensed by DED) have full UAE market access including government contracts, but standard activities are subject to 9% corporate tax on income above AED 375,000. DIFC and ADGM offer common law frameworks ideal for financial services and family offices. VJM Global assesses your specific business model, revenue structure, and long-term plans before recommending the right structure.

How does UAE corporate tax apply to my business?

The UAE introduced a federal corporate tax of 9% under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. Taxable income up to AED 375,000 is taxed at 0%. Free zone entities earning qualifying income remain exempt at 0%, provided they meet substance requirements and do not earn excluded income. Small business relief is available for businesses with revenue under AED 3 million. Multinational groups subject to OECD Pillar Two rules face a 15% minimum rate. VJM Global handles corporate tax registration, return preparation, and FTA compliance for UAE entities.

Is VAT applicable to my UAE business?

UAE VAT at 5% applies to most goods and services under Federal Decree-Law No. 8 of 2017. Mandatory registration is required once taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000 in any 12-month period. Voluntary registration is available from AED 187,500. Certain supplies are zero-rated (exports, international services, first residential property sale) and some are exempt (bare land, local passenger transport, financial services). Free zone designated zones have specific VAT treatment depending on the nature of supply. VJM Global handles VAT registration, return filing, input tax recovery advisory, and FTA audit support.

How does VJM Global handle compliance across UAE regulatory authorities?

UAE businesses face compliance requirements across multiple authorities — FTA (VAT and corporate tax), MoHRE (labour and WPS), MOHAP or DED (licensing), free zone authorities (annual license renewal), and DIFC or ADGM regulators where applicable. VJM Global maintains a centralised compliance calendar tracking every deadline across all relevant regulators for each client. Automated reminders, a dedicated relationship manager, and real-time dashboards ensure nothing is missed. This eliminates the coordination failures that occur when different vendors manage different compliance streams.

Can we hire employees in the UAE before setting up a company?

Yes, through VJM Global's Employer of Record (EOR) service. VJM Global becomes the legal employer in the UAE, handling payroll processing, WPS compliance, visa and work permit processing, and all UAE labour law requirements. You maintain full operational control over your team. This is particularly useful for testing the UAE market quickly or hiring talent while entity registration is in progress. Employees can be transferred to your own entity once it is established.

Why should we choose VJM Global over other UAE service providers?

VJM Global combines the depth of a multi-disciplinary CA firm with the responsiveness of a dedicated practice. You get direct access to senior professionals — CAs and CPAs with hands-on UAE regulatory experience — without being passed to junior staff. Unlike firms that specialise in one area, VJM Global covers 18 service categories under one engagement, eliminating coordination gaps between multiple vendors. 250+ UAE clients and a 95% retention rate reflect what clients experience in practice: technically accurate advice, commercial awareness, and consistent delivery across every service line.

What industries does VJM Global specialise in across the UAE?

VJM Global has deep sector experience across financial services and fintech (40+ UAE clients including DIFC and ADGM entities), technology and SaaS (45+ clients), trade and logistics (35+ clients), manufacturing (25+ clients), real estate and construction (20+ clients), and professional services (30+ clients). Each sector in the UAE operates under different regulatory frameworks — DFSA for DIFC financial services, FSRA for ADGM, RERA for real estate, MoIAT for industrial licences. Our teams understand sector-specific compliance at a working level, not from textbooks.
