Description: Dubai is your ideal base for business in the Middle East region and beyond. Strategically located midway between the Far East and Europe, and between the former Soviet Union and Africa, this position places the Emirate in the hub of the dynamic trading environment of the Arabian Gulf. Nevertheless, even within a world-class trading centre, setting up a company necessarily entails a large number of complex procedures and regulations. Understanding these, and how to navigate your company through them is key to your future success. Dubai imposes no taxes on profit or income; it offers complete freedom of capital movement; it boasts a sophisticated financial and services sector; its communications facilities are excellent; and the cost structure for doing business is highly competitive. In the Jebel Ali Free Zone and the Dubai Airport Free Zone, overseas companies are permitted to set up wholly-owned ventures and can enjoy an array of incentives, including exemption from import duties. The Dubai Technology, E-commerce and Media Free Zone, allows 100% foreign ownership of companies. Aside from these, and many more economic advantages, business people can be assured that the city of Dubai offers a superb quality of life for themselves and their families. The book features information on: Housing and Accommodation; Health and Education; Transport; Leisure Activities; Local Customs and Traditions. The CD includes reference forms and select directory.
