What you should think about when setting up company abroad

Before launching your new business make a plan of a cash flows: sources of a new company financing before it is self-sufficient; plan your dividends.

This will help you to understand VAT obligations, custom duties, logistic expenses.

Income tax rate, withholding tax on distribution of dividends, royalties, capital gain tax, tax on purchase and sale of the property, tax on capital reinvestment and other are the taxes that have an influence on your Net Income. Make sure you know the rates.

Every business owner wants to receive dividends. Before starting a business consider DTAA between the country of your tax residence and your business to find out how much tax you need to pay to repatriate dividends.

On the stage of incorporation and at the end of each financial year of your business the cost of business maintenance in a good standing and compliant can be quite significant. Such countries as Latvia, Georgia, Ukraine, Romania require monthly bookkeeping reporting that means expenses on accountant. Cyprus, Malta, UK, UAE and others demand audited financial statements to be prepared and submitted.  Also, for VAT payers VAT report should be filed quarterly. Such countries as Hong Kong, UAE require annual renewal of a business license. Apart of it, every year you need to pay for extension of registration address and other advisory services.  If it sounds difficult for you trust this to SOWA Consulting who will keep your business in a good standing.

UAE offers business registered in a free zones benefits from zero tax on income, capital gain and withholding tax.

Keep in mind that nowadays banks and payment service providers (EMIs) in most cases require real presence in the country of incorporation (substance). Before giving a green light on account opening they  perform a exhausted due diligence on UBOs and shareholders, check for documents that confirm source of income and source of wealth, its legality and paid tax.
