Structuring a manufacturing and trading business for a company entering the UAE market

We advised a leading tobacco manufacturer and trader on the optimal tax and customs structuring of their regional operations in the UAE. The project included a comparative analysis of corporate tax, excise, customs duties, and VAT implications across various UAE free zones, designated zones, and free zones in Oman. Based on our analysis, we developed a tailored structuring solution that allowed the client to benefit from a 0% corporate tax rate while ensuring full compliance with customs and excise regulations upon entering the UAE market.
