Overview

Why DPC in Dubai?

Dubai Production City is printing, packaging & publishing cluster, positioned in Dubai with a licensing framework built around printing & packaging, publishing and media production. Founded as the International Media Production Zone (IMPZ), DPC remains the Gulf's print & packaging home.

Like every UAE free zone, DPC 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 DPC'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.
