迪拜 Mainland LLC versus 独资经营

A Mainland LLC is a company incorporated under the applicable 阿联酋 commercial and 迪拜 licensing framework.

The 阿联酋 Commercial Companies framework permits one natural or legal person to incorporate and own an eligible 有限责任公司. 阿联酋 Legislation – Limited Liability Companies Resolution

Once properly incorporated, the company normally has its own legal personality. It can:

Its rights and obligations belong to the company rather than automatically belonging to its 股东 personally.

A 独资经营 is a licensed business owned by one natural person.

Unlike an LLC, a conventional 独资经营 does not generally provide the same separate legal-personality and liability barrier between the business and its owner.

The expression "独资经营" should not be confused with a single-shareholder LLC. Both can have one owner, but their legal characteristics are materially different.

A one-person LLC is a 有限责任公司 owned entirely by one natural or legal person.

Foreign investors may fully own many eligible Mainland LLCs 在阿联酋. Specific conditions can still apply to strategic-impact or regulated activities.

A foreign individual may also be permitted to own an eligible 独资经营, particularly for certain professional or service activities, but the precise ownership and local-service arrangements depend on:

Investors should not rely on the general availability of 100% foreign ownership without checking the exact activity code.

Not every activity is available under every legal form.

A 独资经营 may be more commonly associated with activities based on an individual's expertise or professional skill, although other activities may be available subject to current licensing rules.

The legal structure should therefore be selected after the correct 业务活动 is identified.

A common misconception is that every professional activity must use a 独资经营.

Availability depends on the activity and competent authority.

The 企业所得税 treatment differs because an LLC is generally a juridical person, while a sole-establishment business is conducted by a natural person.

This does not necessarily mean that one structure always pays more tax. It means the identity of the taxable person, registration threshold, tax period and treatment of income differ.

A 阿联酋-incorporated LLC is generally a resident juridical person for 企业所得税 purposes.

The Federal Tax Authority states that juridical persons subject to 企业所得税 must register and obtain a 企业所得税登记 Number within the applicable timeframe. Federal Tax Authority – 企业所得税登记

Different provisions can apply to qualifying 自由区 persons, large multinational groups, exempt persons and specially regulated or emirate-level taxed activities. A 迪拜 Mainland LLC does not receive 自由区 treatment merely because it trades with a 自由区.

A 独资经营 is not generally treated as a separate juridical person from its natural-person owner for 企业所得税.

The FTA states that a natural person is subject to 企业所得税 only when:

Their total turnover from such businesses or business activities exceeds AED 1 million during a Gregorian calendar year.

An LLC is generally a separate juridical person whose 股东 have limited liability. A 独资经营 is owned by one natural person who may be personally responsible for its obligations.

Yes. One natural or legal person may establish and own an eligible 阿联酋 LLC.

No. A 独资经营 is owned by one natural person. A different legal form is required for multiple equity owners.

Yes. An eligible LLC may be owned entirely by one individual or legal entity.

Its business is generally assessed under the natural-person 企业所得税 rules. The owner becomes subject to 企业所得税 when total relevant 阿联酋 business turnover exceeds AED 1 million in a Gregorian calendar year.

No. A natural person generally considers the combined turnover from their relevant businesses and business activities.

16. Do LLCs receive the AED 1 million natural-person threshold?

No. An LLC is a juridical person and follows the rules applicable to juridical persons.

17. Do both structures need 增值税登记?

Either may require 增值税登记 when the applicable conditions and thresholds are met.

KPM Global Services can compare available structures, identify activities, coordinate licensing and assist with visas, banking applications, 企业所得税, 增值税, accounting and 合规.

A 独资经营 may be appropriate for a simple individual practice, but its personal-liability and continuity implications should be understood before registration.

A Mainland LLC generally offers stronger separation, ownership flexibility and growth potential. It also requires proper corporate, tax and accounting administration.

KPM Global Services LLC can review your activity, risk profile, ownership plans and expected turnover before coordinating the appropriate 迪拜 Mainland 设立.
