As one of the most influential free trade zones in the Middle East, Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) has attracted global enterprises with preferential tax policies, convenient trade environment and perfect infrastructure. However, registering a company in JAFZA involves complex processes and strict compliance requirements. Enterprises should pay attention to the following key points to ensure the smooth completion of registration and avoid subsequent risks.
1. Understand the preferential policies:
enterprises within JAFZA enjoy tax-free or low-tax policies, including exemption from corporate income tax, personal income tax and import duties on specific commodities.
These preferential policies have greatly reduced the operating costs of enterprises and improved profitability.
2. Select the office address:
JAFZA provides rental services for offices, factories and warehouses, and enterprises can choose suitable office space according to their own needs.
Some free zones also offer virtual office options to reduce initial operating costs.
3. Legal consultation and contract management:
in the registration process, consulting professional lawyers and accountants can effectively avoid many legal and financial risks.
Ensure that clear contracts are signed with partners and customers to protect their rights and interests.
Focus on policy changes:
keep abreast of local business regulations and policy changes in the UAE to ensure compliance.
1. Basic information file:
UAE Company Registration confirmation form KYC form: fill in the company's basic information and shareholders, directors and other personnel information.
Copies of passports and resumes: copies of passports and resumes of all directors, shareholders and key management personnel. If you have a UAE residence visa and ID, please attach the relevant documents.
Proof of residence in the country of residence: such as water and electricity bills, bank statements, lease contracts or identity cards.
2. Company documents:
business license and articles of association of the company (if it is a foreign company): Chinese and English public documents are required. Notarization is not required if the Articles of Association are in English and have been confirmed at the pre-audit stage.
New company director/manager/secretary passport scan: if part-time or have a Dubai work visa, please provide the corresponding documents.
3. Registered capital:
JAFZA's minimum registered capital requirement for each company is 100.000 dirhams (about 180.000 yuan), and it is recommended not to be lower than this amount.
There is no mandatory payment requirement for registered capital, and the subscription system is adopted.
