Questions
What clients ask first.
Is the UAE really tax-free for individuals?
Yes. The UAE charges 0% personal income tax on salary, dividends, interest and capital gains. Companies pay 9% corporate tax on profit above AED 375,000, with 0% available on qualifying free-zone income. We design your structure around both.
Do I have to live in the UAE all year?
No. A Golden Visa has no minimum stay to keep it. For a UAE tax residency certificate, Golden Visa holders with a home here can qualify after 90 days in a year, or on the centre-of-life test. We plan your days for you and track them in your portal.
What about my home country?
Every country has its own rules, and we have strategies and structures in place for each: holding companies, foundations, trusts and more. Your Freedom Assessment maps your exit, your assets and your income, so you become tax-free.
I am a US citizen. Can you help?
Yes, honestly. The US taxes its citizens wherever they live, so moving alone does not end US tax. We model the options with US counsel, including renunciation, and tell you the result before you spend anything.
Who manages my money?
Licensed partner banks, asset managers, hedge funds and private equity firms, in their own name. We coordinate them and give you one picture. Any fee we receive from a partner is disclosed to you in writing.
How discreet are you?
No client lists, no testimonials, no logos. Confidentiality agreements on request, client data hosted in the UAE, and access on a need-to-know basis.
Can my company move too?
Yes. We relocate headquarters and teams, choose between free zone and mainland, and plan substance and qualifying free-zone status from day one.
