Dubai Forums Dubai Business Dubai Business Talk

I’m seeking advice and I hope that someone here can help me.
To summarise my queries:

> Say I have a dot com website that offers a service. There are no physical products to buy or sell.
> That website sells advertising space in the form of banner ads & classifieds.
> I live in Dubai and the advertisements are mainly placed by Dubai based companies.
> It’s purely a web based business and there are no company premises or staff to consider.
> Being a web business, I could actually operate it from anywhere in the world.

My questions then are as follows:

1. Say the site should generate cash. Who would I pay taxes to and how would I go about registering such a business?
2. In fact, which country would I have to register the business to as I may be moving around the region as I work on the site?
3. Additionally, I may try to sell advertising space to businesses and individuals in other countries.

My web hosting is in the UK and the Domain name is registered in USA company. Are there any tax implications and or legal issues involved in such a business?

Thanks

Hi cyberhub!

Thanks for the info. Could you please give me some more details regarding the way I could organise this process. Where and how should I open the bank accounts and all the other things to be done?
Also in case I do opt for an online transcation, what are the steps to follow?

Thanks again

Hi

The process to run these kind of biz is easy...only need to follow steps...as per the details u posted i hope ur site is already online but what ur looking is to collect the amount online for all the ads client place on ur website ....as far as online acceptance of any kind of payment is done either if u have PAYPAL account or any kinda Merchant account (There are 100's of companies providing merchant account to accept online credit cards) in both the case u should have credit card on ur name ....visit www.paypal.com for more info..millions of people around the world using paypal to accept payment online ....recently ebay.com tied up with paypal to accept payment for all existing users .

In UAE its bit expensive to accpet online payment thr credit card ...COMTRUST is the only company provides credit card acceptance facility in that case u need to have account in NBD or NBAD ...visit www.comtrust.ae for more details

Hi,

I agree that Paypal does not accept.

However, emetrix.com does accept. log on to http://www.emetrix.com

and their service is personal and good.

And Western Union and MoneyGram can be used too to accept payment.
