Overview

Why DHCC in Dubai?

Dubai Healthcare City is regulated healthcare & wellness free zone, positioned in Dubai with a licensing framework built around hospitals & clinics, medical specialists and wellness & aesthetics. DHCC operates its own healthcare regulator, streamlining clinical licensing inside the zone.

Like every UAE free zone, DHCC offers 100% foreign ownership, full repatriation of capital and profits, and 0% personal income tax. Qualifying free zone income can benefit from the 0% corporate tax rate under the UAE Corporate Tax regime, while non-qualifying income above AED 375,000 is taxed at 9% — GoldenKey's tax team structures this correctly from day one.

GoldenKey maps your real business model onto DHCC's official activity list, prepares the MOA and application forms, obtains approvals, and delivers a licence that banks, landlords and clients accept without question — with a fixed written quote before any commitment.
