UAE Free Zone + USA or UK LLC? (For Shopify)

[NZ1]

Hello, I am a New Zealand citizen who runs a Shopify store. I am looking at relocating my company to Dubai UAE for the 0% taxes. Shopify Payments is not available in the UAE so I would need to use another 'shell' company in USA or UK and profit shift to the UAE FZ company. I understand Stripe has a private rollout in the UAE currently and Shopify payments may come here in a few years. However, for now it would be best to use a company in the US or UK company because the options in the UAE aren't great for Shopify.

Does anyone have any ideas about whether to go with US LLC or the UK LLP? I have been advised to use a New Mexico LLC but I am a little concerned about using a US company these days. I also don't need the anonymity of a New Mexico LLC.

Are there some companies in the UAE who can help with setting up a FZE and a UK or US LLC at the same time? Hopefully some of you have experience with this.

We can help you︆ with this.

I'm from the Dropshipping and have an E-Commerce company in the UAE since︇ 2016.

With the mentioned UK LLP you are on the right way. See my comments︈ in the thread below.

@NZ1 If you have UK customers how will you deal with corporate tax? With a‌ LLP you must pay corporate tax to UK if you have customers there.

I would recommend a︆ US LLC tax wise it is the easiest, a quick set up can be done︇ with a Wyoming LLC
