FAQ
Can I really pay 0% corporate tax in the UAE?
Yes — if you qualify. Depending on activity and location, free-zone exemptions, thresholds and ESR/substance rules apply. We design for eligibility and compliance from day one.
Do I need to move to the UAE personally?
Not always. Many structures work with or without personal relocation. We’ll explain residency options and their tax impact.
Free zone or mainland — which is better?
Not always. Many structures work with or without personal relocation. We’ll explain residency options and their tax impact.
Will my home country still tax me?
Potentially. That’s why we assess tax residency, treaties and anti-avoidance rules before we recommend a structure.
Can you open my bank account?
We coordinate banking pathways and documentation with licensed partners and guide you through interviews and KYC.
Are you government-affiliated?
No. We’re an independent consultancy working with licensed local partners and UAE authorities. That independence keeps our advice objective.
