In this analytical overview of possibilities and reasons for starting new production line or transfer of an existing production to Dubai or other Emirate of the UAE, we provide the analysis of the most important reasons and benefits for making such decision.
Any production is always striving to achieve the following objectives
- Reduction of costs for purchase and servicing of equipment.
- Saving on energy costs.
- Reduction of labor costs.
- Decrease of transportation / logistics costs.
- Tax optimization.
For all objectives Dubai, the UAE is ideally suited.
1. In terms of purchase and maintenance / servicing of equipment – especially when importing equipment to Free Trade Zone in the UAE intended for the factory, no customs import fees or taxes are charged for the imported equipment and machines. In addition, due to low labor costs, substantial part of production chain can be facilitated without the need of purchasing equipment – by taking advantage of labor force.
2. In terms of energy – Dubai and other Emirates of the UAE offer energy resources at one the most competitive prices in the world.
3. As it has already been mentioned the labor costs are far lower in comparison with other industrialized countries. In addition, there is no taxation of wages and compulsory payroll deductions.
