The Tax Lead serves clients across the UAE — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah — and across every major Free Zone and financial centre. Each location has its own tax, regulatory, and setup specifics.
Dubai’s premier financial free zone with its own regulator (DFSA) and English common-law courts. For regulated financial services firms, fund managers, family offices, asset managers, FinTechs.
Abu Dhabi’s equivalent to DIFC — separate regulator (FSRA), own courts, big in fund administration and family offices. Preferred jurisdiction for GCC-origin family wealth.
UAE’s largest free zone by number of companies. Strong in commodities, physical and financial trading, with growing crypto / Web3 cluster via VARA pathway.
Our IFZA Strategic Partnership gives us insider knowledge of IFZA setup. Preferred for owner-managed service businesses, SMEs, holding companies at AED 2m-20m scale.
DED-licensed mainland LLC — for businesses selling directly to UAE mainland customers (B2C, government, local corporates). Full visa flexibility.
