Tax Practice

We provided legal support to an investment group operating in Europe and the Gulf countries in connection with potential tax obligations of its senior management and shareholders. A comprehensive analysis of UAE federal legislation, DFSA regulations and clarifications on free trade agreements was carried out to confirm the absence of tax liabilities.

A private investor from Uzbekistan used a UAE corporate structure to finance geological exploration through a subsidiary in Uzbekistan. Our team analysed the tax implications at each stage of the capital flow and assessed various financing mechanisms.

A holding company with a subsidiary engaged in residential construction received advice on optimising its corporate and tax structure. An analysis was conducted of its status as a qualified person in a free zone, profit allocation and asset transactions, with particular focus on the tax implications of owning and transferring real estate.

Our team carried out tax structuring of the client’s business enabling the application of the 0% corporate income tax rate in the UAE. The project included an analysis of the company’s activities, verification of compliance with economic substance requirements, and the development of an optimal business model. As a result, the client successfully confirmed its UAE tax resident status and obtained a model for applying the preferential tax regime.
