    UAE clarification of Freezone Qualifying Income

    The origin definition of Freezone is a designated area, usually physically separated, where they receive tax benefits. Doing international business shifting away revenue into tax havens is a thing of the past. UAE just killed the business model of free zones and the business around it. Without...

    Dubai / UAE 180 days (simple question)

    That's worth nothing. It depends on your nationality and which type of visa you hold, i.e. golden visa holders only have to visit once yearly. I suggest to spend 90 days in UAE to establish tax residency to establish substance, otherwise the paper residency is not worth much.

    Transfer Interactive Brokers Account from Cyprus to Dubai

    Should be possible, usually they only require a new proof of address. UAE does not have a DTA with the USA, so you'll pay 30% withholding tax on dividends.

    Ledger giving it to Trezor

    Realistically speaking you're fine using a Ledger or Trezor, just don't enable the Recover feature if you fear a government subpoena. If you use a Trezor, enable the Passphrase (>35 characters) and you're on the safe side too.

    If you're experienced and buy a property off plan from a trusted developer you can be lucky. Timing the market is close to impossible and the chances you'll loose money is high. There are so many shady real estate agents that ghost immediately after the sale. Ultimately the risk reward is just...

    90 Days in Dubai: Unlock a New Tax Residency

    If you visit once every 180 days you simply suffice the requirements to maintain your residency. However holding a residence permit does not equal being a tax resident. You can easily hold a UAE residency and trigger a tax residency elsewhere, i.e. by spending more than 180 days in another...

    Open a personal bank account in SG/HK 2023

    These banks have brokerage options and you could put your funds into a money market fund. SDIC is fairly low at S$75,000 and if you hold investments it counts towards your AUM. DBS has one of the highest liquidity coverage ratios in the industry and is one of the largest Asian banks. Very...

    Citibank - Citigold Account in the UAE

    That's definitely not the case, you need to match the AUM in each country. I don't have experience with Citigold UAE, but if the customer support is comparable to other banks, I'd avoid it at all costs and pick Citigold Singapore.

    Seems to be a duplicate topic. This registry doesn't give away personal information and just confirms the pure existence of a company.

    How to figure out where Trustpilot is hosted?

    Claim your Trustpilot business and report the reviews. In case it's a non-genuine experience, you have good chances to get it removed. TP will verify if it's a legit customer. Getting a lawyer or complaining to Amazon will be a waste of time.

    UAE to introduce 9% corporate tax on business profits from June 1, 2023 (FZCO REMAINS 0%)

    Laws to comply with international standards does not mean they will be enforced. UAE won't establish a Gestapo style tax authority to scare away wealthy expats. Their goal is to get rid of the FATF grey list. One can draw comparisons to the laws to protect low income labour and prevent money...
