| Which Freezone for which Purpose? Over the past decade, the UAE has established itself as one of the most competitive and versatile structuring hubs worldwide. A combination of factors has contributed to this ascension – e.g. no corporate and personal income tax, access to a broad network of double tax and investment protection treaties, no restriction on profit repatriation, no foreign currency control, increasingly sophisticated regulatory framework and corporate tools, worldwide connectivity – but perhaps none more than the concept of “free zone”. By popular demand, M/HQ has compiled a comparison of UAE’s major free zones, their core focus, key features and USPs. This guide will help you and/or your clients determine which free zone is most suitable for every specific business concept.
