Tax structuring is now a critical part of business strategy in the UAE. With the recent introduction of corporate tax, companies must rethink how they are legally and financially structured to minimize liability and maximize compliance.
One of the first decisions is whether to operate from a mainland or free zone. While free zones may offer 0% tax on qualifying income, this comes with strict compliance conditions. Multinational firms must also manage transfer pricing documentation and economic substance regulations to avoid penalties.
Key considerations include:
- Choosing the right legal entity (e.g., LLC, holding company, branch)
- Ensuring economic substance compliance if claiming exemptions
- Optimizing group structures for dividend income and capital gains
- Aligning accounting practices with tax reporting requirements
