No, this is no longer the case.

In 2019, the Emirates adopted international standards for the creation of offshore companies. Since then, Dubai is no longer part of the black list of tax havens established by the OECD or the gray list.

Each project is unique and must be subject to intelligent analysis. Setting up in Dubai is not THE good idea that applies to everyone. And creating companies blindly can expose you to the risk of recovery by the French tax authorities. 

In the event of recovery, you will have to pay the tax you should have paid in France, + penalties (10% in the event of a 'simple error' certified by the tax authorities, 40% in the event of 'bad faith' and 80% in case of suspected tax evasion) + fines. 

Our support will allow you to know which is the best plan for you legally.

Yes there is.

There is a 5% VAT and a 9% corporate tax on profits exceeding AED 375.

No obligation but it is strongly recommended

There is no obligation to keep accounts in Dubai, but it remains the best evidence in terms of tax and financial security. In the event of a tax audit, how will you prove that you have complied with the law? To use your financial leverage in the Emirates, how will you prove the good health of your business? The answer is simple: good accounting certified by a chartered accountant is the best guarantee of trust.
