Paying tax on money that you have invested in a bank can be a source of frustration for many. However, you can move your money and make it work for you with a bit of creativity! The UAE is an attractive prospect for many, given its Islamic finance that prevents taxation on bank accounts and its status as a safe and secure banking destination.
The seven emirates of the UAE, which includes Abu Dhabi and Dubai, have become a hub of global business and hundreds of thousands of people from more than 200 countries around the world have made it their residence for many reasons – including liberal tax regulation.
Banking inside the country is easy for residents, but it is also possible for non-residents to make the most of the UAE’s banking system though there is a different set of rules and processes for this to happen and more supporting documents are required, and you may not have access to the full suite of banking options as a non-resident.
Whatever your circumstances are, if you wish to establish a UAE bank account talk to Setup Zone in partnership with Beyond Limits Business Center.
