I have two questions:
1. I am planning to bring gold and sell gold and gemstones in Dubai. Where do I have to set up my company, free zone or mainland? If I set up a company in a free zone, can I sell gold in mainland?
2. My second question: Do I need a special license for a gold business? And how long is it going to take to set up the FeZ company? What is the cost to set up a company in the FEZ and obtain a gold license in Dubai?
Piece of Brilliance 🎉
Thanks 😊
Excellent explanation regarding free zone and main land corporate taxes
Thank you very much
I’m glad you liked the video 😀
Hi Martin
You are saying free zone companies corporate tax and personal tax is zero for atleast 49 years. But getting news that freezone companies corporate tax of 9% is also going to be implemented soon. Can you please clarify on this.
It is an excellent video. You ca n owen a 100% company shares now with Mainland compaones also with silant Local partner. you just pay sponsor free to the local persona yearly basis. it can be AED 2000 and AED 20,000, depending on the business you do
For some activities it’s possible to own 100% of a UAE Mainland company, for some it’s now. It depends.
What is the cost for setting up a business in free zones in UAE ?
The price depends on a number of factors such a trade license type & duration, number of business activities, number & type of visas, business setup & structure, type of business, tax residency & international tax strategies, etc.
Feel free to book a call with me and after I learn about your business and your goals I can build the right setup for you and offer you different pricing options based on that.

I want to start a bed space business in Dubai, should I opt for mainland company or free zone company?
If we have to sell the product only eg amazon etc in UAE so can we opt the free zone option
Yes, for an eCommerce business you’re perfectly fine with a Free zone company in Dubai.
Amazon is also in a Free zone in the UAE. So selling on Amazon.ae it’s not considered doing business with UAE mainland.
Hi
Air B and B can be opened under Tourism and in free zone area? We want to have video production like film making, Entertainment and possibly rent rooms to our talents from inside of UAE or outside. Whars the best possibility and tax free. Thanks in advance
Thanks for the video; it was very useful. By the way, for those looking to book an appointment with this individual, if your current annual income is less than $50k This is what i found
What is your current annual income?
*Less than $50k (Please, don't book a call)
I’m glad you liked the video and found it useful.
And yes, if you make less than $50k/year it makes no sense to register a Dubai Free Zone company.
Hello Martin. Thank you for sharing the video with us. In Dubai, I want to open a coffee shop. Which is it, Dubai Mainland or the Free Zone area?
Mainland. Even though in some Free zones It’s possible to have a coffee shop
Where is Amazon UAE, FaceBook and other online businesses registered? Free zone of Mainland?
Free Zone
Hi, what if you want to start a cafe/smoothie company, is free zone better or mainland?
For this is better to go with a mainland company in Dubai. Even though, with DIFC is possible to have a cafe/smoothie company there but only within the area of the DIFC Free Zone.
Which is better for small startup ecommerce free zone or mainland
Free Zone by far. Mainland you don’t need for an eCommerce business at all. Even Amazon is a Free Zone company in the UAE.
Hey, im from canada, i heard youre still considered a tax resident of canada if you're in canada for 183 days, and im wonder if The 3 months it takes to become a tax resident of dubai count as just being a nomad or its added to the tax residency
These are separate things. The 3 months in Dubai are for your UAE tax residency. And you also need to exit your tax residency from Canada.
You can technically be tax resident of both countries and then you can use the tax treaty to avoid paying tax in Canada. It’s kinda limited though so it’s good to exit your tax residency completely long-term.
So if you need help with getting UAE tax residency and exiting your tax residency from Canada feel free to book a call and with and I’ll be glad to explain more about how it works.

I have a business in UK. Do I have to close this business & setup a new one in Dubai, or can I still use it in Dubai and be tax free?
It depends on the situation and type of business. It’s hard to tell without knowing the details.
Depending on the case you might transfer ownership to the Dubai company or sell it/close it.
Feel free to book a free call with me and I’ll be glad to consult you on what you need to do exactly to be tax free.

@MartinZhel Web design. How do you transfer ownership?
From what I learnt from your video, I want to transfer ownership of my current UK company to a free zone company w/ combined professional & commercial trade license in Dubai, as I want to do ecommerce on the side also. Then apply for Visa, and complete the tax residency period.
I'm not sure how transferring ownership works though...
Corporate tax in freezones is now 9% unless you're in few very specific businesses. Even money you earn outside of UAE is now taxable over 375k. I've been told this by several tax experts. Are they wrong?
@MacSaxe Freezones are tax free. It is only the mainland that has 9% corporation tax. As long as the money is going into your UAE bank account, where it comes from doesn't effect your taxes (unless its mainland to your freezone I think).
