Probably the bdst video on YT about setting up shop in Dubai.✌Thx for the boring but super-useful info regarding annual requirements etc. I wish there was more concrete stuff like this on youtube, not just your average "Dubai is cool and zero tax" like the other videos. Would love a future video about what accounting/filing corporate tax documents look like, if doing them is like 2 hours DIY, or 4 weeks and 20K with some accountant.

Hello Tuomas, I thoroughly enjoy your informative videos. Could you please create a video discussing moving to Dubai with 6-year-old kids? We're particularly interested in learning about the quality and affordability of schools, the availability of playgrounds in the streets, and whether buying a 2-bedroom apartment is a better option than renting in Dubai. Looking forward to your insights! Warm regards,

Also a Canadian who moved to the Czech Republic, I just filled out a form to be declared a non-tax resident. The only thing I wish I did was fill it out at the appropriate time as the agent advised me to fill it out when I was just leaving Canada to travel and didn’t have residency anywhere else. But I didn’t need to pay exit taxes. Now I did not have wealth at all. No properties no nothing, so if you’re a normal person you’ll be fine

Hi, Tuomas. Was your online business already generating income before you formed the company in Dubai? Or did you transfer the business to the newly formed company in Dubai? I’m currently building a software and it will still take some time before it generates an income. I want to launch it under a company (possibly via the Estonian e-residency program) and once it generates enough income, I am considering of moving it to Dubai. Do you know if it’s possible to do the company transfer with this free-zone company formation? Thanks in advance!

@tuomaskiv 3 ай бұрын

Yes it was but I was only a sole trader (no registered business) before I came - you would need to look at if there is any exit tax etc considerations when moving the business out of Estonia/wherever - I recommend booking a consultation as this will be case-specific - calendly.com/genzone/dubaisetup

Do you not pay US taxes as you have a LLC there ? Any reason why you did not set up in the UK? Finally how did you make your UAE company own the US LLC?

@tuomaskiv 3 ай бұрын

No, US LLCs are tax transparent (the owner of it is taxed wherever they are tax resident). The UK does not have an equivalent business structure (they have the LLP but need 2 partners) For the process to set this up you can book a call with us - calendly.com/genzone/dubaisetup

@tuomaskiv it is not a lot means saving that money and buying property in dubai is good idea rather than making company and giving yearly an amount

@arnoldvosloo220 3 ай бұрын

@@alikhan-bj6zs Brother, 16000 aed is nothing if you're comparing saving that money to buy property in dubai. Average 1bed apartment in downtown dubai is 2.15m aed, 1.6m aed in business bay, 1.65m aed in marina, even almost 1m aed in barsha heights. 16k aed per year doesn't even come close to covering a down payment on any of these properties even if you save that amount per year for decades. So the amount of capital needed to pursue the company option vs buying property is not in the same ballpark.

so if you get the golden visa is there a point of setting a company there? why pay 9% tax? guess you could just setup US LLC for 0% tax as non-national?

@tuomaskiv 3 ай бұрын

No, a US LLC is still liable for UAE corporate tax if you manage and control it from the UAE. You can't avoid the tax by doing that, this is a misconception and will get you in trouble.
