Key Facts About Dubai Science Park
Why DSP in Dubai?
Dubai Science Park is science, energy & environment community, positioned in Dubai with a licensing framework built around life sciences, pharma & biotech and energy & environment. DSP purpose-builds lab-ready space — rare in the region — for life-science tenants.
Like every UAE free zone, DSP 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 DSP's official activity list, prepares the MOA and application forms, obtains approvals, and delivers a license that banks, landlords and clients accept without question — with a fixed written quote before any commitment.
