As we tell every client, choosing Fujairah mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. In our experience, fujairah is the UAE's east-coast gateway — shipping, bunkering and Indian Ocean trade, and GoldenKey registers mainland companies there with the economic department week in, week out. As we tell every client, australians are a community of more than 15,000 residents in education, construction, hospitality and sports, so the Fujairah authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Australian applications every day and process them without hesitation. Payments between Australia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Australian dollar (AUD) transfers settle without delay and UAE banks are familiar with Australian business profiles.

Absolutely. Australians can own the full share capital of a Fujairah company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Australia and the UAE?
In short, the UAE and Australia do not currently have a comprehensive double taxation agreement, so you should plan with a tax adviser in Australia. The UAE itself charges no personal income tax and 9% corporate tax above AED 375,000.
