Are you about to start your business and looking to understand how to structure your taxes within a legal framework?
Tax optimization involves using authorized mechanisms to reduce certain costs or taxes. Three questions are essential: Is it legal, how can it be implemented, and how do you choose the jurisdiction in which to establish your company?
Is legal tax optimization possible?

Tax optimization must be distinguished from tax fraud: optimization relies on the use of means permitted by law.
Tax fraud: a different rationale
Tax fraud is the act of concealing information from the tax authorities or illegally circumventing the rules.

Which tax haven should you choose for your company?

A real and stable economy, a clear legal framework, and a sufficiently strong international reputation are important criteria.
Dubai and the United Arab Emirates are destinations worth considering because of their real economy and attractiveness to foreign investment.
