Establishing Holding Structures in the UAE: Effective Solutions for Your Business
Setting up holding structures in the United Arab Emirates represents a powerful tool for addressing a wide range of business tasks: from asset consolidation and tax optimization to beneficiary information protection and additional financial resource attraction. In the UAE, you can significantly enhance the profitability of your business, minimize financial risks, improve your international reputation, and expand your client base
Key Benefits of Holdings in the UAE:
- Tax Optimization: Utilizing international double taxation avoidance agreements significantly reduces tax liabilities.
- For countries without direct agreements with the UAE, it is possible to create multi-level holding structures, providing additional opportunities for tax optimization.
