Overview

Why DIC in Dubai?

Dubai Industrial City is manufacturing & logistics powerhouse, positioned in Dubai with a licensing framework built around food & beverage manufacturing, base metals and machinery & equipment. Dubai Industrial City zones factories into clusters — food, metals, chemicals — with shared infrastructure.

Like every UAE free zone, DIC 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 DIC'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.
