We will explain the advantages of establishing a local copmany in Dubai.
With regard to the taxation system, the UAE has an overwhelming advantage over Japan.
In the UAE, corporate tax (0~9%) will be introduced on June 1, 2023. Net income up to AED375,000 (USD102,000) is exempt from tax! 9% for net income over AED375,000 (USD102,000).
Compared to Japan’s corporate tax rate of 23.2% (as of 2022* excluding the special exception for reduced tax rates for small and medium-sized corporations), this is by far the lowest.
In addition, there is no inhabitant tax, (corporate) enterprise tax, fixed asset tax, business office tax, automobile tax, real estate acquisition tax, personal income tax, or inheritance tax.
Capital gains and dividends on investment income are also exempt from taxation.
*Instead of having no corporate income tax, you must pay for the acquisition and renewal of a business license.
The license fee is fixed regardless of profits. The more your business takes off and the more profit you make, the more advantageous this system is.
