    Auditor for a DMCC Company in Dubai

    I found this accountant - aey.ae. They are slow, but they did my audit for 1/4 of what I was paying before.

    Semi-Offshore Isle of Man or Channel Islands Company for UK Citizens

    Thanks for the break down. I was mainly interested in somewhere with no corporate tax. Though I thought dividends were at 0%. I was aware that income is at 10%, but the threshold is £14,500, or $18,500. That doesn't matter to me, as I'd either be paying myself nothing or around that threshold...

    Semi-Offshore Isle of Man or Channel Islands Company for UK Citizens

    I have a Dubai freezone company, which operates a website. I spend very little time in the UAE and none in the UK (where I am a citizen of). However, the cost of keeping the company is probably in excess of $10,000 per year. In 2026 I plan on retiring early, but keeping the company and getting a...

    Auditor for a DMCC Company in Dubai

    I can't see any details about an accounting service. The company that handled my incorporation in 2021 referred me to an accountant, but he seemed very aloof and not interested in giving any solid details about anything. Most of the accountant in UAE are from countries where there is less of a...

    Auditor for a DMCC Company in Dubai

    Does anyone know an accountant for audits in Dubai? DMCC accredited. Real business, nothing illegal or grey. I've been paying one $2,000 to do audit. About 35 Txs / year, perfectly outlined with a document explaining everything. Seems like 2-3 hours work.

    Swiss banking is dead and buried

    @JohnnyDoe - I forget if it was you I went back and forth with in early 2021 and another guy regarding crypto. Some guy came in with stary crypto eyes and you weren't having it. Or another guy who had Mr. Burlesconi as his avatar. If I have the right guy, have you changesd your mind since then...

    UAE clarification of Freezone Qualifying Income

    This is happening as the US-OECD mafia is leaning on countries, threatening then with going on grey-lists unless they become vassal states. Probably why UAE and Saudi Arabia have entered the BRICS, an organisation that seems to be built around national sovereignty. I believe I should still be...

    Need UAE proof of address

    This guy provided with me one and it worked for SwissQuote. Looks like a fresh bill. Not something through together.

    Need UAE proof of address

    They are only accepting a tenancy contract or utility bill. I also have a Interactive Brokers account, for which they accepted an insurance document with my address. But almost all my positions are in the older SwissQuote account.

    Do you have a means of contact? I can't see a way to send PMs on here now.

    Need UAE proof of address

    Thanks for the reply. The SwissQuote is not worth that much to me, so I will need to roll it up if I can't get a document.

    Need UAE proof of address

    I'm also in this situation. I have Dubai residency, a company there, personal and business banks, but I don't live there. I don't have a permanent address. I am currently in the last stage of selling two properties (outside the UAE) and have no intention of renting or buying anywhere until...

    Brokerage Where Total Costs Will be Under 0.5%

    I have a SwissQuote account, which I've used a little and not paid much attention to the fees. But it seems they might be quite steep. Oh, wait. Where it says they add a 0.85 fee, I assumed that was %, but it seems it's cents. https://en.swissquote.com/trading/pricing/stocks But still, I will...

    Remote Work for a Native English Speaker

    Good afternoon, I've met someone who lives in the former Soviet Union. They are a native English speaker, owing to having gone to school in an English speaking country. Currently they are working for about $3.50 / hour. I've suggested it shouldn't be too difficult to get at least $7 / hour...

    Debit Card With Zero Fees

    Good afternoon, Does anyone know any debit cards that have zero fees for withdrawals and FX? Preferably world wide. I've been using the Crypto.com debit card all around the world, including in countries like Russia and Mongolia. There are zero FX fees, zero ATM fees, zero top up fees. None. If...
