Thanks Marzio. In my simple case, entire company would consist of secretary and nominee director in SG (required by law) and me (100% shareholder resident in Dubai) paying myself everything after expenses. I would be managing the company. Would it work?

Thank you for the interesting topic. I'm in somewhat similar situation (not e-commerce though) and now I'm seriously considering incorporating in Singapore. Thanks @Sols and @Don for some great pointers. Since this setup isn't as easy as some others I would like to ask couple of questions. It...

My understanding is that if you receive salary then you won't need ejari based on the language in the article 4 of the decision 85 as well as required documents when visiting FTA's TRC website. It shows: 2. Applicant is a natural person spent in the UAE less than 183, and equal or more than 90...

@uranium That's outdated info, they've changed recently to 90 days if you fulfill certain criteria. Here is the decision, check article 4 https://tax.gov.ae/Datafolder/Files...inet Decision 85 of 2022 - For publishing.pdf Here as well you can see that they have a section if you were there for...

No annual reporting in your case. The link you provided says so too. New Mexico Biennial Corporate Report - Free Guide & Easy Filing Instructions In New Mexico, all corporations must file a New Mexico Biennial Report every other year, and all nonprofits must file a New Mexico Annual Report once...

My experience with the UAE is that it's always confusing so I totally understand you. You can always be on the safe side and just rent for 1 year in Sharjah for like AED10k.

I would disagree with bnpsu based on the official document you shared. The document says meets any of the following: a. He has a Permanent Place of Residence in the State. b. He carries on an employment or Business in the State. My understanding is that since you are employed by your FZCO you...

why there Johnny? :)

In Croatia as well, I was told that the police officer will come to visit and make sure that I'm there for permanent residency. Police might speak with neighbors as well. I believe they don't check for temporary residency. That's why I gave up on it :P

Posted in this thread Post in thread 'UAE clarification of Freezone Qualifying Income' UAE clarification of Freezone Qualifying Income

What do you mean @Au999, knowledge fee and innovation fee are not taxes, there are no taxes in the UAE

They probably will go for income tax. I think that they believe Dubai and the UAE is such a great place that it's worth it to pay taxes there. Although I don't understand why would someone pay income tax in a state where you don't have public schools, public healthcare nor pensions. At least for...

Well I meant at least mainlands can benefit from small business relief, couple post above someone mentioned that free zones might not be able to apply for small business relief. It seems that they can but it's permanent decision.

Well, let's see what happens in the next couple of months but if things stay the same then freezones are worse than mainlands in terms of taxes

Let's hope that they let freezones get small business relief benefits and then get the f out of the UAE in 2027.

Just read this article but it's not clear to me about all the talk that foreign sourced income will be exempt. What do you guys think? https://www.arabianbusiness.com/ind...stry-announces-freezone-tax-policy-exemptions I'm not a lawyer or accountant but to me this looks totally opposite of...

Yes 3 mil dhs until 2026. Then it's 1 mil dhs turnover, first 375k aed of profit are tax free.

I'm not sure if those yields at IBKR are considered as interest in a bank's savings account (which is 0), I think it's not because it's a broker account and subject to 30%. Someone who parks more than $10k with IBKR can check for us although you don't get the full yield until $100k parked.

Good luck with your journey and just as a heads up be prepared to change plans. If you went with either Romania or UAE In the last 1-2 years you would have to adapt. Romania used to be revenue up to 1mil EUR and ~6% tax to 500k EUR and ~9% tax. UAE went from having no taxes except VAT to 9% CIT...

UAE is in a strange place now with CIT introduced and no one knowing for sure what the obligations will be. If you need a really clean record maybe go Romanian path or wait a bit to see what are the implications of the new rules in the UAE.
