Looking to establish an offshore company in Dubai with 100% foreign ownership and zero tax? JAFZA offshore company formation remains the most trusted choice for international investors. Whether you’re planning offshore company setup in JAFZA to hold assets, reduce tax liabilities, or own real estate in Dubai, our experts simplify the process from start to finish.
JAFZA offshore company formation is ideal for investors who want to form an entity to use it as a holding company or purchase properties within Dubai. Investors generally set up an offshore company in JAFZA to minimize tax liabilities or protect assets. JAFZA offshore companies are not allowed to conduct any business activities in the UAE, and the Authority will issue a certificate of incorporation instead of a trade license. The investors need to set up an offshore company through registered agents in Dubai who will provide the office space for the company. Investors expanding their structure beyond offshore activities often explore broader business setup in UAE to operate across multiple Emirates.
Since its inception, JAFZA has been attracting investors from all over the world to set up an offshore company in Dubai. The factors that make JAFZA a preferred destination for foreign investors are diverse. Some of them are:
Some investors also transition into wider mainland or free zone operations, where our team supports complete company formation in UAE for operational expansion.
JAFZA offshore company formation offers unmatched advantages over other offshore jurisdictions in the UAE. Some key differentiators include:
Forming a JAFZA offshore company is a smooth and efficient process, but understanding its key features is essential to ensure compliance and avoid delays. The JAFZA Authority mandates foreign investors to follow specific rules and requirements that help maintain the free zone’s global reputation. Investors need to consider the following features and requirements while setting up an offshore company in JAFZA:
A JAFZA offshore company requires at least one shareholder, and the shareholder can also be a corporate entity. The shareholders are responsible for deciding the capital structure of the JAFZA offshore company.
An offshore company incorporated in JAFZA needs to have at least two directors, but the Authority doesn’t allow the appointment of corporate directors.
All offshore companies incorporated under JAFZA must have a secretary.
All the JAFZA offshore companies must keep the accounting records for ten years from the date on which they are made. The company’s accounting records will be approved by the directors, and one of them needs to sign the records. Offshore companies need to appoint an auditor approved by JAFZA, who will examine and report in accordance with these regulations upon the accounts prepared.
Offshore companies incorporated under JAFZA must maintain a registered office in JAFZA free zone and appoint a registered agent. Since an offshore company doesn’t have a local physical presence, the investors can use the office of registered agents in Dubai as the company’s registered office.
An offshore company can be registered with JAFZA in less than ten days.
Offshore companies incorporated under JAFZA are required to disclose their Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO). In addition, they should also maintain a Real Beneficiary Register (RBR) and a Partners of Shareholders Register (PSR). A company undergoing liquidation is also required to meet the UBO rules. Failing to meet the UBO obligations will result in hefty penalties.
A UBO is defined as either of the following:
Companies incorporated under JAFZA offshore are required to annually assess whether they are subject to Economic Substance Regulations (ESR). If the companies have conducted any of the nine relevant activities, they must meet ESR requirements such as ESR notification, ESR Report filing and meeting the Economic Substance Test. The nine relevant activities under ESR are Banking, Insurance, and Holding Companies. Headquarters business, Investment Fund Management, Lease-Finance business, Shipping, Intellectual Property business, Distribution & Service Centre business.
JAFZA has adequate resources and infrastructure to help the companies meet the ESR test, such as adequate full-time employees, directors & managers, adequate premises, assets etc. These assessments should be made every year, and the obligations must be met annually. Failure to meet the ESR obligations will land the companies in serious legal troubles, including penalties and sharing of information with foreign competent authorities. Registered agents in Dubai can assist the companies with annual assessments ad filing requirements.
Foreign investors prefer JAFZA offshore company formation due to zero taxes, 100% ownership, ability to open bank accounts and own real estate properties in Dubai.
