Offshore FAQs
What is an offshore company in the UAE?
An offshore company in the UAE is a business entity established outside the UAE mainland or free zones but with a registered office within the UAE. These companies are usually set up for international trade, asset protection, or tax optimization. They can offer confidentiality, ease of doing business internationally, and tax benefits, but they cannot conduct business activities directly within the UAE.
What are the benefits of setting up an offshore company in the UAE?
Setting up an offshore company in the UAE provides several advantages, including tax benefits, privacy, and asset protection. Offshore companies benefit from zero percent corporate tax on profits, confidentiality of shareholders and directors, and minimal reporting requirements. They are also free from local business regulations and can have bank accounts in UAE or internationally.
How is an offshore company different from a mainland or free zone company?
Offshore companies are primarily used for international trade and asset protection and cannot conduct business directly within the UAE. In contrast, mainland companies can operate freely within the UAE and across the region, and free zone companies can trade within their specific zones and internationally. Offshore companies have less regulatory oversight but are restricted in terms of local business operations.
What is the process for setting up an offshore company in the UAE?
To set up an offshore company, you first select a jurisdiction within the UAE that offers offshore registration, such as Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) or Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) Offshore. Then, choose a company name and prepare the required documents, including passport copies and proof of address for shareholders and directors. You need to submit these documents to the relevant offshore authority, and upon approval, you will receive your company registration and incorporation certificates.
What is the minimum share capital requirement for offshore companies?
There is typically no minimum share capital requirement for offshore companies in most UAE offshore jurisdictions. However, you must ensure that the share capital is sufficient to support the business activities and banking requirements. Jurisdictions like Ras Al Khaimah Offshore (RAK) allow for flexible capital structures.
Can I be a director and shareholder of an offshore company?
Yes, you can be both a director and a shareholder of an offshore company. In most jurisdictions, offshore companies require at least one director and one shareholder, and they can be the same person. However, some jurisdictions may have specific requirements regarding the number of directors and shareholders.
What are the annual compliance requirements for offshore companies?
Offshore companies generally have fewer compliance requirements compared to mainland and free zone companies. However, they must renew their registration annually, maintain proper records, and sometimes file an annual return or financial statements, depending on the jurisdiction. They also need to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and may need to submit annual updates on company details.
Can offshore companies have multiple shareholders?
Yes, offshore companies can have multiple shareholders. There are no restrictions on the number of shareholders, and they can be individuals or corporate entities. The shareholders’ details are kept confidential in most offshore jurisdictions, providing privacy for the company’s owners.
How long does it take to set up an offshore company in the UAE?
The setup process for an offshore company in the UAE typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the jurisdiction and the completeness of your documentation. This includes time for company registration, document processing, and obtaining the necessary approvals.
Can an offshore company own real estate in the UAE?
Yes, offshore companies can own real estate in certain freehold areas of the UAE, such as in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah. However, the process and requirements may vary based on the specific real estate regulations and the freehold areas’ rules.
