RAK Free Trade Zone is one of the most cost effective and customer oriented free zones in UAE. Currently there are more than 8600 registered companies in RAKFTZ. Company registration packages (license+facility+registration) normally start from 15000 AED which includes all the cost without any hidden charges. As the Regional Manager, I am based in Turkey. We are introducing the benefits and advantages of having a company in the UAE to the Turkish businessmen through various activities that we are planning or attending withinTurkey. Since there is no tax in UAE and full ownership without the requirement of having a sponsor, the companies registered in UAE enjoy the proviledges of making profit free of tax.Ras al Khaimah is a logistic hub between CSI Countries, South Asia and Africa. Companies can use RAK FTZ facilities for warehousing or light manufacturing and utilize it as a distribution center.The Emirates of Ras Al Khaimah (http://www.rakinfo.ae/) boasts a strong economy with 8% GDP growth in recent years, paired with a stable political environment, making it a dynamic and exciting place to invest. Ras Al Khaimah also benefits from world-class infrastructure, including five ports, an expanding airport and a 12 lane highway connecting the Emirate to Dubai in under an hour. The Emirate received the Financial Times award for "Most Attractive Place in the Middle East for FDI." The costs of living and doing business in RAK are markedly lower than in other Emirates, and far below those of traditional business centers such as London, New York, Hong Kong or Mumbai. Foreign investors enjoy a 100% income and corporate tax exemption, streamlined and expeditious registration procedures, total foreign ownership, 100% capital and profit repatriation, efficient services, a transparent legal framework, and a network of promotion centers across UAE, Europe and Asia.
