Digitas Finance - “Pay ZERO TAX!” (24)

---

Hi All,

Since joining the forum 10 months ago, many forum members have asked me if I could consult for them on their tax matters.

Due to limits on my time, I have only been able to help a small number of select clients, but the sheer number of requests has convinced me to hire more tax consultants, CPAs and chartered accountants to support the large number of affiliates who would like tax assistance.

Based on the enquiries, I am pleased to announce the launch of our business “Digitas Finance”.

I am one of the people Umar has given tax advice to before the public launch of this service.

I definitely recommend him ... but these solutions are not for every affiliate.

Digitas services are not cheap, and they requires some geographic flexibility and travel.

If you are paying less than $20,000 in taxes, it probably is not worth it. But it definitely worth exploring if you are paying more than $100,000 a year in taxes, and almost a no brainer if you are paying more than $1,000,000 a year in taxes.

I was just wondering what the yearly paid-tax threshold would be to justify using this service, thanks a lot for the clarification and the specific sums you posted.

So the $10k package only gives you a corp without a bank account?

---

Hi, in this package we will only introduce you to our local banking partners and then you will continue with your application with them directly.

In packages with the bank account, we will be dealing with the full application on your behalf for e.g filling the forms, providing supporting documents, business plans, preparing your business profile and case in an appropriate manner, liaising with the banks etc. This will have a higher probability in making a successful banking application and getting the account opened.

Thanks

Umar

Okay so what advantages is there to paying your company 10 thousand USD instead of using one of the 100 other incorporation services 1.5-3k$?

---

"-5 of the top 10 affiliate marketers in the world, "

Curious how you know who the top 10 in the world are?

---

I have not used these services and dont know the people around it, having looked at the website i can say that the cheapest package seems to be a little expensive, based on the comparison chart it helps you open a company in a country with no corporate tax (at least on revenues generated outside the country) however you will find that opening bank accounts for these corps is a mess, if the opening of the company is included it can be better but in most cases its significantly cheaper than that.

The tax residency visa is where it gets interesting, UAE free trade zones are quite trendy, but make sure it causes you no legal trouble in your home country. Otherwise its a legitimate method used by many people, might not be best for US citizens though but thats just a hunch.

If you are making a lot of money I would suggest that you let your home country have a little bit of it, just for simplicity if you have some locally taxed income it makes it easier to operate local bank accounts, get credit cards, etc

---

Have an example scenario,

Say if i make $2m revenue/year with 30% net profit of $600k. By incorporating a company with you guys in Dubai/Abu Dhabi I can pay 0% tax on my $600k, and then
1. pay myself a salary every month which is taxable in my home country?
2. pay myself dividends which is either taxable at a lower rate or non taxable in some countries?

Is this correct for the setup If i do it with you guys?

---

Hi, we don't provide tax consultations here on the forum, but I suggest you fill out (https://digitasfinance.com/tax-optimised-packages) and we can schedule a time to speak.

---

Aaahhh please f*ck off! Spammer!

We are definitely expensive and others may be cheaper but we focus purely on affiliate marketers and understands their needs and the issues they face due to the high risk nature of their businesses. Our solutions are tested to cater those needs. In particular we are a one stop solution for the corporate problems the digital marketers face that includes save taxes, get bank accounts, credit cards etc. We only work with the leading freezones in the UAE i.e. in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and our fee includes all the setup, annual company licenses costs etc.

Unlike many other providers we ensure that we make you fully operational and not just simply get a company setup for you.

This is one type of service where you don’t want to necessarily go with the cheapest provider. Going for the cheapest tax advisory service is a little like going for discount Sushi!

---

You definitely make some good points. We seek to be the best tax consultant for large volume affiliates ... not the cheapest provider. And yes, our services are most beneficial for non-US citizens, as US citizenship limits the potential benefits that we can provide.

I met Digitas guys at AWE, And As i have first hand expeirence of living in UAE and running a business I can say it s a great solution for those who can afford. The reasons i would hire them if i would need a company in UAE, is that they are focusing on affiliates specially, With regulations in UAE even getting tough I am sure with them I would feel much safe as compared to someone who doesnt know a thing about affiliate marketing. There maybe other providers at very cheap rates but they are not going to do anything for you apart from registering your business and getting you started, What I see here is a complete package so I think this would be the better option for any affiliate who can afford

P.S I have no relation whatsoever with Digitas just sharing my own expeirnce as i have lived & Ran business in UAE...

Would income from a UAE company be seen as a solid source of income when trying to get a mortgage in the EU or UK?

I know 99% of affiliates are making millions (joking) a month but I am not and I might have to apply for a mortgage in the UK or EU at some point.

---

Hi, we don't have mortgage expertise so can't say much on this topic.

Haha, that is definitely true.

I made the mistake of buying some discounted sushi at a supermarket once. It is a mistake I will never make again ... lost a month of my life recovering from food poisoning.

---

Same can be said for buying cheap travel insurance! It's okay if its for the small claims but you don't wanna be "out-claused" when the big accidents come (which is the point of buying insurance in the first place)..

---

I'm sure this will be different from one country to the next and from one bank brand to another, but I've tried something similar quite a few years ago. I wanted to use the income of my company incorporated in a rather distant country and the bank didn't want to accept it. After some back and forth, they agreed to accept part of the income, when setting my net worth. If I'm not wrong, they accepted 15% of the yearly net profit. It's been quite a few years ago, so take it really just as an option that your bank MIGHT be willing to work with.

---

Which banking partners do you recommend to clients, considering most are not opening new accounts for flexidesk freezone companies?

---

Yes that would definitely depend on bank to bank and country to country. It worked for me, but your mileage may differ.

---

This kind of thing is definitely a long way from where I currently am. Though I do wonder if this kind of service has a solution for USA based taxation by citizenship. Where regardless of where an american citizen lives, if they have over a certain value of income / or assets overseas they must pay taxes annually to the USA in addition to the country where they reside.

A person I know who lives in Canada has this issue and to me it is insanely ridiculous.
