Banking in UAE for non residents (companies or individuals) is extremely difficult. Hardly you will find any bank that under normal circumstances will onboard you.
If you have a real use case of why you need an offshore company and you cannot work with onshore company and you are managing a lot of money, try to find a smaller bank where you can more easily talk with managers or branch directors to expose your case tell them the amount of money or business you will bring to them and you might be lucky, as smaller banks have targets to meet and you can help them achieve them. But remember that this is case by case and you have to be very lucky by meeting the right person at the right moment.
Other than that, go the traditional onshore way and you will have bank easier (still can be hard sometimes but easier than offshore)

Seems like they will be all taxed, except qualifying activities which are pretty useless are very few and does not fit the majority of people doing business in dubai.
Currently in IFZA but trying to find a new alternative... maybe Hong Kong or a Bahrain

what about? Issuance of Tax Certificates (Tax residency and commercial activi
Quoting: Offshore companies are not eligible to obtain Tax residency certificate as they are not considered to be established in the UAE.
No taxation for RAK ICC offshore companies. At least for now
It makes sense since I believe you can also not get TRC and access to DTT-sNo taxation for RAK ICC offshore companies. At least for now
If there is no tax it’s good think we still have opportunity in this country, but main problem is business banking ..
I think there are better jurisdictions in which you can achieve 0% corporate tax than UAE for a similar price.
UAE was good because of the free zones with 0% tax that gave you access to local banking and residency.
If there is no CIT there is income tax, if there is no income tax there is poor banking system if there is 0% with banking systeme it’s in a middle of island and you can do nothing
I am guessing you are basing this on the legal opinion of the senior tax advisor you mentioned earlier. Did you also talk to him about the effective management of the RAK ICC? From everything I understand about the new corporate tax laws, the RAK ICC cannot be managed by a UAE resident and remain tax-free, as that would trigger a permanent establishment and, thus, corporate tax. Or am I missing something, @OJ333?No taxation for RAK ICC offshore companies. At least for now
Where I do follow: RAK ICC managed by a non-resident might remain tax-free, although still not 100% confirmed by the authorities.
Official guidance doesn't look like this, but certain types of income might be exempt.No taxation for RAK ICC offshore companies. At least for now
Companies and other juridical persons that are incorporated or otherwise formed or recognised under the laws of the UAE will automatically be considered a Resident Person for Corporate Tax purposes.
Who is subject to Corporate Tax?
Corporate Tax applies to the following “Taxable Persons”:
- UAE companies and other juridical persons that are incorporated or effectively managed and controlled in the UAE;
What income is exempt?
The Corporate Tax Law also exempts certain types of income from Corporate Tax. This means that a Taxable Persons will not be subject to Corporate Tax on such income and cannot claim a deduction for any related expenditure. Taxable Persons who earn exempt income will remain subject to Corporate Tax on their Taxable Income.
The main purpose of certain income being exempt from Corporate Tax is to prevent double taxation on certain types of income. Specifically, dividends and capital gains earned from domestic and foreign shareholdings will generally be exempt from Corporate Tax. Furthermore, a Resident Person can elect, subject to certain conditions, to not take into account income from a foreign Permanent Establishment for UAE Corporate Tax purposes.
Depending on the activities the income might be tax free, but regardless CIT registration is mandatory for all UAE companies.
maybe you can post it again, and kindly share the link so we can all start asking what is happening?
Freezones have no authority in regard to tax matters. No point to contact them. They must obey the laws like everyone else. In that sense they are like all other companies.
