Procedure of running an e-commerce business in the UAE
Hello.
I’m seeking advice on the legal implications of running an online pharmacy based entirely offshore (financially and procedurally) and selling only one FDA-approved product to the UK and EU, but with my residency remaining in the UAE.

Dear Questioner,
I sincerely congratulate you on the idea of setting up an online business in Dubai which is really a lucrative one.
Please note that the licensing procedure is fast and easy for e-commerce. You may choose a free zone or a non-free zone.
Please note a few advantages in setting up in the free zone:-
1. 0% income tax,
2. 100% repatriation of business profits,
3. 0% corporate tax,
4. 100% complete business ownership and negligible custom duties.
If you need any further help or clarity in setting up a business, please contact me.
Thank you.
