What we analyse before you decide
Whether the country fits
We compare your activity, customers and current structure with the alternatives: staying in Spain, setting up a subsidiary in Dubai, or working with an EOR.
The right legal form
We explain which legal form fits —Free Zone / Mainland and its alternatives — and what each one means for liability, shareholders and capital.
Real taxation, not brochures
Corporate tax, VAT and withholding applied to your specific case, plus the double taxation treaty with Spain and which obligations stay here.
Total and recurring cost
Entry cost versus the annual cost of maintaining the structure: accounting, local obligations and administration. So you decide with the full number.
Obligations and calendar
What has to be filed every year, with which deadlines, and what happens if a month gets complicated. Plus an estimated calendar from your decision to the first invoice.
Risks and the fine print
Registered office, tresidency, "tax havens" that are not, and mistakes that cost dearly. We also tell you when Dubai is NOT for you.
Where Dubai makes sense
Dubai offers one of the most attractive regimes in the world: 0% personal income tax, 9% corporate tax only above AED 375,000 and a strategic location between Europe and Asia.

Questions before deciding
It depends on where your customers are, how much you invoice and how long you plan to keep the structure. In the call we review it with your numbers and tell you whether Dubai adds anything or whether another route suits you better.
As a reference: corporate tax Corporate Tax 9% and VAT VAT 5%. But the real impact depends on your activity, the double taxation treaty and where the profit is generated. We calculate it on your case.
