Law regarding setting up a Free Zone Establishment in Dubai while residing in India
This query is : Resolved
22 August 2021
I run a website and get my payment from Google Adsense in form of a wire transfer from the USA. My company is registered in India and I live in India as well. The company has 5 employees, all residing in India.
I was thinking about opening a Free Zone Establishment in Dubai while residing in India and without taking Dubai residency. I am doing this mainly to save taxes and wanted to know whether it is legally possible to do so.
I will be the sole Director in the Dubai Free Zone establishment and it won't have any employees. Even I won't be drawing any salary from my Dubai Free Zone establishment. I will use it only to receive payment from the USA.
I won't dissolve my Indian Company. It will remain as a completely separate entity. I will transfer some money from my Dubai Free Zone establishment to my Indian company so that I can pay the salaries to my employees in India. So basically, My Indian company will be unprofitable and I won't have to pay taxes here.
Is this type of structure legally feasible?
Edit: If possible please let me know of any Tax Attorney in the Delhi Region who might be an expert in this field

You are resident of India , so any foreign income earned by you is taxable in India.
You can't avoid any tax on this proposal in india.

What if I conduct board meetings twice a year in Dubai? Also, this is not my income. Its an income of a Dubai based company.
My proposal might not be correct, but surely this is possible. Many people do it. I just don't know how. I would be very happy if someone could tell me the correct way to do this so that it is completely legal.
PS: I don't believe in free advice. I am willing to take paid services from a Delhi-based tax attorney.

There are ways to prove that the place of effective management is outside India. I don't think you are well versed enough on this topic. Let someone else answer.
Edit: Arent there any better CAs here?
