Overview

Why DTC in Dubai?

Dubai Textile City is textile trading & warehousing hub, positioned in Dubai with a licensing framework built around fabric & textile trading, garment wholesale and textile warehousing. Developed with TEXMAS, Dubai Textile City is the Gulf's organised home for fabric trade.

Like every UAE free zone, DTC 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 DTC'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.
