Dubai’s central location and cosmopolitan lifestyle is attractive not only to companies but to talents in the region as well. This is evidenced by the fact that expatriates outnumber the local population by a large margin. As such, companies setting up in Dubai Outsource Zone can tap into an economically high-skilled workforce in the region including India, Egypt, Pakistan, Jordan, Syria, Iran, and the Philippines. With a vast majority of the population fluent in English, this multicultural multilingual population is a huge advantage for many off shoring companies.
Apart from the above incentives offered by the Free Zone, investors can avail benefits from various Tax treaties concerned with the avoidance of double taxation. As of 2009, the United Arab Emirates has entered into double taxation agreements with 47 countries. This network includes treaties with Armenia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mauritius, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Seychelles, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine etc.
