Protect Your Business: Move Your Headquarters to the UAEWith Donald Trump set to take office in January 2025, U.S. companies might face a new tax policy imposing tariffs over 100% on imported goods. This change would impact many U.S. businesses, especially dropshippers that rely on overseas suppliers. Moving your headquarters to the UAE is a smart way to avoid these tariffs and benefit from 0% income tax on foreign trading.
FZE stands for "
Free Zone Establishment." It is a legal business structure commonly used in certain countries, particularly the United Arab Emirates. This company structure offers 0% income tax on foreign trading. It is a popular and legal way of tax optimisation nowadays.
Why Choose the UAE and FZE Structure?Setting up a Free Zone Establishment (FZE) in the UAE allows U.S. companies to trade globally, without the weight of U.S. tariffs or high taxes. Key benefits include:
- 0% Income Tax for 50 Years: Save on taxes while maintaining stable, long-term benefits.
- Full Foreign Ownership: U.S. dropshippers retain complete control with no need for a UAE partner.
- Quick Setup: Establish your company in 3-5 working days, all done remotely.
For UAE bank account opening, however, directors must obtain a UAE visa, which requires a 3-6 weeks visit to the UAE.
The FZE structure prohibits trading on the territory of the UAE (not including intermediaries in the UAE). So this company structure is only for foreign trading.
