One of the most significant advantages of setting up a free zone company is that foreign investors can own 100% of the company without requiring a local sponsor or partner. Hence, investors can maintain complete control and make strategic decisions without any external interference.
Tax Exemptions
As of now, the free zone companies in Ras Al Khaimah have been enjoying complete tax exemptions. However, starting June 2023, companies with an annual profit turnover of more than AED 375,000 will be required to pay a corporate tax of 9%. And this is still one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world.
No Currency Restrictions
Another benefit of setting up a free zone company is that there are no currency restrictions. Investors can freely repatriate all of their profits and capital without any restrictions or barriers, making it easier to manage their financial operations.
Easy Company Setup
Setting up a free zone company is relatively straightforward, with a streamlined registration process and minimal paperwork. This makes it easier and more cost-effective for investors to start their business quickly and efficiently.
Access to Global Markets
Free zone companies in UAE have access to a vast network of global markets, including Europe, Asia, and Africa. This makes it easier for businesses to expand their operations and reach new customers, ultimately leading to increased profitability and success.
Customs Duty Waivers
Customs duty waivers for free zone companies significantly enhance their competitive edge by lowering operational costs. This allows these businesses to more effectively attract international investment and increase their profitability by minimizing import/export barriers.
