I have lived in the UAE for the past 20 years. Considering the amazing infrastructure, public transportation and five lane highways that our delivery trucks drive on, I think it's only fair that we start paying taxes. I say it's long overdue and we can't expect any government to just keep on building an awesome country without paying taxes. Well done to the UAE👏

I dunno if I agree with your logic. In Malta you need to actually live on the island to get that rate or you would need someone on the board of directors on the island. Confirmed this with Maltese advisors last week. Ireland has good Corporate tax rates but terrible capital gains, income tax etc. Again being Non Dom you'll need someone on your board of directors probably in Ireland. Cyprus maybe the better option I would think you need someone based there too. I can't see EU countries being that flexible as Dubai. It all comes down to your permanent residence and where that's established.

I’m visiting Dubai - “the city of the future” - now, and it’s an . . . interesting future. My assessment so far is that the city has 40%+- of the Las Vegas “tackiness”, but with only 15%+- of the “sliminess”. One of my biggest observations is the clearly bimodal quality of life - you have the $800 per dinner “movers & shakers” crowd, and the $800 per month income group. While $800 is usually 3-5x what they could make in their home country, the juxtaposition is interesting to note. If the future is spending all day in [very nice] shopping malls, I’ll be enjoying the city for the value it offers, but looking to get more greenery in my life elsewhere.

I think Dubai is great place to start out on your journey to economic freedom. If you're looking to just get some real estate, start a business, you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's great for that sort of thing. Once you've got millions then yeah you can move but you also have more options to move to because for a lot of countries it's just a matter of price to get a bank account or residency.

You forgot something to add if you make 500k for example you can take 100k tax free income , 100k no taxes and only 9% on 300k so if your business makes 500k profit you only pay 27k , no capital gain , no crypto taxes , no heritance taxes , no rental income taxes .

Did I get that right? Also I saw a foreign housing exclusion where I can deduct housing from $96 to $300 a day (Hong Kong ) on top of that. So if I got this right I could live tax free overseas and not be a millionaire?

The 9% is just the beginning. The Dubai seemed to forget that it's in the dessert. Tax free lifestyle.

Aren't the foreign companies of USA citizens treated as FDE(foreign disregard entity). So basically the income of the company is considered the income of the individual

I’m noticing that more countries are taxing companies because even if you aren’t living in the u.a.e but your business is still present in the u.a.e.The real question is what do the citizens of United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 are paying in tax for there business being in the u.a.e.I think this is important to note because it probably plays a part in the new tax being applied on foreigners having there business in the u.a.e.

So people go to Dubai to avoid paying 40% tax in their home country, and they are upset with UAE charging 9% AFTER deducting aed 375k and after deducting expenses?

If ur comp makes profit above 375k dhs or 100k usd then corp tax applies. Any profit above 100k is taxed at 9%.

9% tax is fine, but not when mixed with high yearly fees on everything business related, visas, business licenses etc. Either do tax or keep it as it was

The 5% requires an offshore holding company, usually based in the UK or Gibraltar. Set up fees in yr 1 expect to pay €4-5k.

VAT: - 0% VAT applies to companies that sell to clients outside of the UAE. - When the turnover exceeds AED 375,000 VAT needs to be reported, but shown as sales with 0% VAT.
