Why 0% models are not a sure-fire success
Free zone companies remain the standard for Swiss and EU clients. However, the 0% regime only applies to qualifying income and where there is sufficient economic substance.
A lack of activity, incorrect choice of zone, or inadequate accounting will quickly lead to ordinary taxation. Audit and VAT obligations are also becoming increasingly important in practice.
Our conclusion: The UAE works—but only with a clean setup, realistic presence, and ongoing compliance.
