Offshore Company to Hide my Identity, Dubai?

[JustAnotherNomad]

Man, it must suck to be from a country like that.

What are you talking about? Aren't you German?
Germany considers you tax resident if you have a key to an apartment in Germany. If you have a key to your parents' house, you can live in Dubai 365 days a year, your worldwide income is still taxable in Germany.

yeah, same in many other EU countries. Sadly not that easy any longer.

Hello!

I have a limited liability company registered in Europe and unfortunately, all details are publicly disclosed (ceo/ shareholder names and details, addresses, etc.). My goal is to hide my own identity for a better privacy. My business is in no way illegal or shady, but I just do not want to have everything publicly available since I value my privacy. In my country there is no way to incorporate a company that hides those personal details.

The goal here is NOT to evade taxes. Since I live in europe, I will still pay my taxes here.

My idea:
- Incorporate a dubai freezone company and bill all customers through that dubai company. My customers will only "see" the dubai company. The shareholder of the dubai company is my european company.
- Forward all sales (minus a small management fee) to my european company. That means the dubai company will not have significant profits.
- This way, I still have the profits/ taxes in europe but my "public" business activities are routed through the Dubai company

Does this work? Is a dubai freezone company really discreet, i. e. is it impossible to gather the names / addresses/ personal details of the ceo/ shareholders? If not, what countries or companies could provide that?

Thank you for your help!

There are some good alternatives when it comes to anonymity in this mentor group gold forum, however, it is not for everyone to go that path I know that. But if you don't have other options it may be worth considering.

@drain I see how your process will work and if your clients only deal with the Dubai company they will not be able to see who the shareholders, directors or UBO are, even if this is your European Company.

Are you into Dubai company formation? Looking at one setup right now.
