Expand Your Reach with RAK ICC Elevate – Commercial Licensing with Strategic Advantage
We are pleased to share a significant development from the Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC) that presents new opportunities for your UAE-based structure.
RAK ICC has formally introduced Elevate — a premium corporate solution enabling eligible international companies to establish a licensed commercial presence within the UAE under a qualifying free zone regime.
This initiative has been designed to provide a compliant, tax-efficient, and strategically positioned framework for cross-border operations.
What is Elevate?
Elevate is a dedicated framework for RAK ICC entities that require operational substance, regulatory recognition, and access to the UAE’s commercial ecosystem.
It is particularly relevant for:
- International holding structures seeking commercial activity within the UAE.
- Businesses targeting tax optimization through access to the UAE’s Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) network.
- Structures requiring local substance and enhanced banking credibility.
