UAE setup for Israel residents.
UAE incorporation for Israeli residents — opened up significantly post-Abraham Accords (2020).
Key Israel-specific considerations
- Israel-UAE DTAA — in force since 2021 following Abraham Accords.
- Banking — UAE Tier 1 banks now openly accept Israeli UBOs.
- Israeli tax residency — Israeli rules unchanged; CFC and exit tax considerations apply.
- Common structures — ADGM for venture-backed; IFZA for solo founders.
Recommended UAE jurisdictions
We coordinate with Israel-side tax counsel on departure and CFC considerations where relevant. For UAE-side setup, our most common picks are IFZA, DMCC and ADGM depending on activity and scale.
Not Israel tax advice. We coordinate with home-country counsel on residency, exit and CFC considerations.
