Advantages of US LLC + UAE setup?

[SasuT]

For someone who lives in UAE, have a company here, tax resident here etc.. but still has a US LLC and work with it.

What are the advantages ? Compared to only have UAE company?
I heard payment processors, but now in UAE there is Stripe and many others (but I agree fees are high).

I doubt it's the only reason. Is it to avoid the 9% CIT ? Since US LLC = revenues = no CIT ? (I doubt it works)

I'm curious, let me know

USA LLCs can provide protection against political instability in the Gulf

The Gulf countries are monarchies, which means that they are ruled by a king or emir. This can make them more susceptible to political instability than countries with elected governments. For example, in 2004, the Nepalese royal massacre resulted in the deaths of the king, queen, and their children. This event was a major shock to the Nepalese people and had a significant impact on the country's economy.

USA LLCs can provide access to better banking and payment options

The United States has a well-developed financial system, which means that USA LLCs have access to a wider range of banking and payment options than businesses that are registered in other countries. For example, USA LLCs can open bank accounts in the United States, which can be helpful for businesses that want to conduct international transactions. Additionally, USA LLCs can use US-based payment processors, which are more widely accepted than payment processors from other countries.

USA LLCs can give your business more credibility

The United States has a strong legal system and a well-established business environment. This can give USA LLCs more credibility with customers and partners. For example, customers may be more likely to trust a business that is registered in the United States, as they believe that the business will be subject to the same laws and regulations as other businesses in the country. Additionally, partners may be more likely to invest in a business that is registered in the United States, as they believe that the business will be more stable and reliable.

USA LLCs may be tax-free if you do not conduct business in the UAE


Overall, USA LLCs can provide a number of advantages for businesses that are operating in the Gulf. These advantages include protection against political instability, access to better banking and payment options, more credibility with customers and partners, and the potential for tax savings.

Here are some additional points that you may want to consider when deciding whether or not to form a USA LLC:

• The cost of forming and maintaining a USA LLC.
• The time and effort required to comply with US laws and regulations.
• The risk of being sued in the United States.
• The potential for tax complications.

P.S. For any reason If you leave UAE...You can still run it tax free from Territorial tax country or any tax free country....Means It is portable company structure...

You can still run it tax free from Territorial tax country

This is not the case because income accrued from work performed in a territorial tax country is local sourced income.

So how will it be taxed in this case?

Someone know how to run it tax free?

You can run a US LLC tax free with personl tax residency in UAE by hiring a director in a tax free jurisdiction, for example Bermuda or BVI or others so that you are seen as a "passive investor" that doesn't perform any work from UAE (at least on paper).

Can you suggest any firm or individual that could help with this?

I also need one, but I will move from UAE to Thailand.

So far the best I could find was a Cayman Islands director for 700 USD a year.

You will need to pay REAL MONEY for a director not pocket money.

I just need one on paper, I doubt Thai authorities will check further.

If you are aware of the risks but don't care then go for it

But again it depends on where you relocate to right ?

Hey Marzio - do you know much about setting up something like this? Could you DM me? Happy to pay you for your time

How would this work if you've got a UAE freezone but you're a tax resident of the UK? Could my US LLC be owned my UAE freezone?

Yes, the US LLC can be a corporate shareholder of a free zone company in the UAE, however you still need to have a representative of the UAE company who will be the GM.

What about the other way around - Could my UAE freezone be a 100% shareholder of a US LLC?

Could you find a crypto-friendly EMI for the US LLC in this setup?

Unfortunately, we are only aware of crypto conversions through a personal account in UAE by being a resident.
