    UAE - 2024 - And now, what?

    There is already the 9% tax, and if you keep thinking there is not, expect a fine.

    Looking for real estate

    Malaysia might be an option, one of the few asian countries where foreigners can own land. Not tax free but not that bad.. I believe the minimum amount for foreigners is 1M RM tho.

    Best investments for a growth + dividends strategy?

    I have some cash lying around waiting to be invested, Any suggestions for some good ETF's? Right now I just got some JEPI but net dividend it's just the 5% after the 30% us tax, looking for something around 7-8% ideally.

    Looking for real estate

    Bahrain, in Bahrain Bay Area or Juffair. Not much vegetation but you get residency as bonus Yield is very good as well, price/quality wise I believe one of the best in the world at the moment.

    UAE FZ small business relief - CT filing - audit?

    Someone found a relatively cheap accounting company to do the CIT? seems like I can only find 2000 AED/month firms which is outrageous Fixed costs with an FZCO become incredibly high.. can't wait to move to HK

    Best country / setup to minimize tax? (software biz, ~400k, eu)

    Yes Bahrain will most likely introduce corporate tax soon. But it's already not the best place to incorporate.. In my opinion bahrain is good just for personal residence. Ive been in both Monaco (visits) and Bahrain (over 5 months) and I can say Manama is far more liveable than Monaco. Monaco...

    In my opinion Bahrain is much more open and free then others, even better than Dubai imho (no internet firewall). in Manama there's clubs, beach party's with alchol, and overall a good night life in the Adliya area. I wouldn't even compare something like Kuwait (total alchol ban)

    Hong Kong Company

    According to the statrys.com guys, no issue for opening EMI or Stripe without residing there.. I mean they offer company formation and their account together but not sure if they say it just to sell it to me

    Hong Kong Company

    It's the current setup, but license is becoming too expensive, accounting as well, and taxes are no good
