UAE Setup · For Switzerland Residents

UAE setup for Switzerland residents.

UAE incorporation for Swiss residents. Federal/cantonal tax mix, exit tax considerations, Swiss-UAE DTAA.

Key Switzerland-specific considerations

  • Federal + cantonal tax — Swiss exit on departure can be triggered for substantial shareholdings.
  • Swiss-UAE DTAA — in force, reduces withholding on dividends.
  • Banking — UAE banks comfortable with Swiss UBOs.
  • Common pattern — Swiss GmbH/AG + UAE Free Zone operating subsidiary.

Recommended UAE jurisdictions

We coordinate with Switzerland-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.
