Offshore Company Registration in UAE

There are several reasons for offshore company incorporation in the UAE, with the primary one being complete confidentiality over the financial matters and increase in wealth without interruption.

What is Offshore?

The moment we overhear the term offshore company we think of a business landscape away from the home country that provides tax haven.

An offshore company is a wholly-owned LLC which is legally tax-exempt and has no annual accounting and tax obligations.
An offshore company can be owned by individuals or corporate bodies and is a business entity which does not carry out any substantial business activity in its country of origin.
Also known as a non-resident company, an offshore company cannot occupy an office space in the UAE.

Such a company is framed under the no-tax jurisdiction law with the sole purpose of enhancing one’s wealth management and reducing any kind of tax payment legally.
