Trade license renewals in Dubai are due every year and are obtained from the Dubai Department of Economic Development. In accordance with the latest stimulus packages issued by the Dubai Economic department, businesses operating out of Dubai and with expired trade licenses in Dubai can now request their trade license renewals in easy monthly installments.

The first stimulus package covered a wide spectrum of 15 initiatives. Of these, 9 initiatives focused on commercial and business sector including a freeze on the 2.5% market fees imposed on imported and locally sold products, waiving off of bank guarantees up to AED 50,000 (even new businesses eligible for this waiver) and 90% reduction of fees on companies’ customs documents.

Then, there was also the cancellation of the 25% down payment norm required for availing installment-based payment of government fees for obtaining and renewing licenses.

The new stimulus reforms will make it further easier for businesses to clear fines and renew their licenses. The package will allow businesses to pay their fees and fines in easy installments, freeze their trade license for a year and seek an amicable settlement with DED on commercial violations.
