    The treaty non-resident UK Ltd. - the best-kept offshore secret?

    I have just seen this thread and although its many months past, I feel that I should add some expertise on this matter. Having been a UAE resident for now approaching 29 years, I am also a director of a UK Ltd company. Whilst I cannot comment on the benefits and 'ins and outs' of the tax status...

    Zenus Card

    I also have a problem with ZENUS Cards. Applied for an account, and got it approved. Then started trialling, i.e. funding tests from various sources and then thought ... ah ok what about the card? Now through the FAQs, I find that I cannot have a card because of where I live (UAE). Not even a...

    Received a SMS message from First Abu Dhabi Bank, UAE "we need more information on transactions on your credit card / FAB account..."

    You do make me laugh. Reminds me of one of my last years living in UK and having a Biz in London. At an end of a Financial Year meeting with my dedicated banker, at the Branch, just behind Oxford St in Portman Square, a young guy (and in those days very amicable, approachable and friendly - NOT...

    Just to address your fears - in UAE you CAN have dinner with Putin as he is definitely NOT personna non grata here. Secondly to spend your money on hookers here is completely normal and will be thought of as quite normal.

    I believe it's from Finland and knowing Finland as I do -- i.e, an extremely regulated and mind-numbing society of law-abiders then go ahead be my guest - they were ahead of the game 25 years ago with everything being recorded by the Govt.

    Wio Bank officially launches in UAE

    I have had it for a week or so. Easy to sign up although ....... I am a customer of NBAD/FAB for 28 years now so I guess they have all their KYC nonsense.
