Let us talk about the hot topic, tax. As is in many OECD nations, including the U.S. and Japan, corporations are subject to corporate inhabitant tax, corporate business tax, property tax, business office tax, and more, with the list continuing to expand by the day. On the other hand, Dubai has limited tax obligations that allow companies to thrive and grow their business opportunities.
The only costs to concern yourself with when it comes to maintaining a corporation in Dubai are the License fees, local sponsor fees, and agency fees. Generally speaking, they are usually within 30 to 40,000 AED. All of which have fixed prices allowing maintenance costs not to fluctuate, irrespective of profit.
Suppose a Japanese corporation with a profit of 2.68 million AED pays 23% corporate tax per year under the Japanese tax system. In that case, the remaining corporate funds after tax are 2 million AED, whereas if the corporation pays 30 to 40,000 AED per year under the Dubai tax system for licensing fees, etc., the same corporation with a profit of 2.68 million AED would have 2.66 million AED available as after-tax funds.
For an individual with an annual income of 1.34 million yen, if he/she pays approximately 45% income tax + inhabitant tax in Japan, the amount of money remaining after taxes would be approximately 738,000 AED. In contrast, if you move to Dubai and have a similar income of 1.34 million yen, you will be left with the full 1.34 million AED as there is no income tax and no inhabitant tax.
