The United Arab Emirates (UAE) offers an exceptional investment environment for Spanish companies due to its diversified and growing economy, favourable tax policies and strategic location as a global business and logistics hub. The country has implemented recent legislative reforms, facilitating full foreign ownership and simplifying establishment procedures. The Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the UAE provides valuable support to companies, offering visibility, access to exclusive business networks, promotion and assistance in organising events, thus ensuring a successful integration into the local market.
Spanish companies can benefit from the UAE’s favourable tax environment (0% IRPF, 5% VAT, 9% IS) and full foreign ownership. Key sectors such as technology, infrastructure and renewable energy offer great opportunities. The UAE economy shows steady growth in foreign investment and access to a dynamic regional market. The UAE has established itself as a global hub, allowing companies to also distribute products in Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
