The parent Indian company carries full financial and legal liability for the UAE branch. All profits can be fully repatriated to India, and the branch is subject to UAE corporate tax on profits generated within the UAE
A branch office is not a separate legal entity in the UAE — it is a direct extension of your Indian parent company, operating under the same name, same ownership, and same business identity.
The branch office can conduct all the commercial activities of the parent company in the UAE — including signing contracts, invoicing clients, and generating revenue — subject to UAE government approvals.
A representative office, on the other hand, cannot generate any revenue or sign commercial contracts. It is only permitted to promote and market the parent company’s products or services in the UAE. It is suitable for companies that want a brand presence before committing to full operations..
UAE Ministry of Economy (MoE) approval is required for both branch and representative office setup. The application goes through the Federal Foreign Companies Committee before the DED issues the trade license.
As of the 2024 UAE government reform, a mandatory Local Service Agent (LSA) is no longer required for most mainland branch offices — significantly simplifying and reducing the cost of branch registration for Indian companies
The AED 50,000 bank guarantee deposit with the Ministry of Economy has also been removed following the 2024 reform — making branch office setup more accessible and cost-effective for Indian businesses.
