Frequently asked questions
Is an offshore company enough to do business in the UAE?
No. Offshore companies cannot trade in the UAE market. They are mainly used for holding assets and investments.
Does UAE corporate tax apply to holding companies?
Holding companies fall within the corporate tax regime, though several reliefs and exemptions can apply. We review the position for your structure.
