    Which jurisdiction should I open or purchase a bank in?

    Thank you for the input, I was looking at Lithuania, the issue I have with EU is compliance hurdles and timeframes for set up or transfer of ownership from any existing entity. Are any of the places in the Caribbean actually still issuing licenses? My personal preference would probably lay in...

    Gold to a brick and mortar bank in Dubai

    The banks in UAE will be lenient and if accepted they'll give you a bad rate, better get in touch with a PM trading company, they'll take 0.5%-1% fee (in reference to LBMA) based on amount you have. Done it like this suceessfully

    There is now service providers that offer mirroring services, you pay internally within Russia and they send you internally within EU etc. Goes both ways, takes couple minutes, fee is similair to fx rate spreads at banks so around 3-5%

    Collusion between IFZA and its partners. There is no way to opt out and choose another service provider.

    My law firm in Dubai is one of the IFZA partner companies (just like with every other freezing) yet IFZA is the most complicated to deal with as they keep you retained as the initial agent throughout the course of your company's operations. You can ask for an NOC from your current agent in...

    Can EU seizes money from my UAE bank accounts ?

    There is some although it's very hard to come by. Thesedays majority of the people are so brainwashed by the state and scared of consequances that they sacrifice their own values. I wanted to check what they're teaching these days at the university so I signed up to a LLM at a UK uni with a...

    Can EU seizes money from my UAE bank accounts ?

    If you have a lawyer with morals and that abides by such rules you should drop him immedietaly. Sidenote - I'm afraid of gen z becoming lawyers.

    UAE (Dubai) Expats: What moves will you make with the new UAE tax laws?

    I have fat binders of papers related to this prepared by EY and PWC, working closely with Meydan and HFZ authorities. Sure, avoiding CT is harder but definitely doable with the correct set-up, work and operations planning.

    UAE (Dubai) Expats: What moves will you make with the new UAE tax laws?

    You qualify for the exemption as long as you don't do any business with mainland companies or natural persons. If you only use UAE FZ as a way to optimize foreign income and meet the requirements, there is nothing to worry about, consult your advisor to make the set-up air tight.

    UAE (Dubai) Expats: What moves will you make with the new UAE tax laws?

    For the love of god guys. Operating a UAE FZ LLC is still going to be tax-free if you know how to use it. 9% CIT doesn't apply on profits of a FZ entity that doesn't do any business with UAE mainland. If your business operates only abroad or within a freezone then your profits are still...

    Cash out with low tax from Estonian Company

    UAE Freezone companies are still exempt from CIT if they don't do transactions with mainland businesses. If you own FZ LLC, meet the substance rules, and invoice only clients within your freezone, between your and other freezones or abroad then your profits are still exempt from 9% CIT. Once...

    Cash out with low tax from Estonian Company

    Your best bet is income shifting to another mid-tax and then low-tax jurisdiction such as UAE over a period of time. Drain your cash on invoices coming from multiple companies for consulting, investment, research, trade, IT services etc. (or whatver is the line of work of your company) and over...
