    UAE (Dubai) Expats: What moves will you make with the new UAE tax laws?

    It is rather simple: accounting and filing now is mandatory. Audit only if you are above a certain level. 0-375,000/year = tax at 0%. Above, 9% of the PROFITS. So many ways to reduce profits in a company. No need to panic.

    Question Forming an Estonia OU as non-resident for eCommerce in EU

    Thank you for your reply. Ok, so for the e-residency in Estonia, I suppose that can only be an individual in that case? Is there anything that is given in my initial thread that would make it impossible for me to become an e-resident in Estonia?
