UAE: The Hub of Offshore Business

An Offshore Company Formation is often used to make Investments and accumulate wealth, just as an onshore company can invest in stocks, shares, property or commodities. The major difference is that the offshore company does not have to pay tax on its profits, nor does it have to pay inheritance tax when it is passed on to heirs. There is no minimum capital required and also no need to set up an actual office space. The offshore company is usually restricted from entering into activities relating to insurance, re-insurance, Insurance agency, banking or insurance broker.
