Book the Structuring Review · $500 / 60 minCross-Border Tax and Structuring: UAE, Canada, USA
If you live in Canada and own a Dubai company, Canada does not ignore it. Canadian tax residents are taxed on worldwide income and must report foreign companies and foreign assets on dedicated CRA forms. Depending on how the company is owned and managed, its income can be taxed in Canada even if you never bring the money over.
The UAE side may charge little or nothing. The Canadian side decides whether the structure actually works.
The same logic runs in reverse, and it runs through the US too. This is the work I am known for: making sure the country you live in and the country you earn in do not combine into a bill you never saw coming.
The situations I handle
Working out which country you are actually tax-resident in, and what that changes
Owning a company abroad while living somewhere else
the reporting, and whether its income lands on you
Holding companies and group structure
when they genuinely help, and when they just add cost and filings
Leaving a country
departure and exit tax planned before you move, not after
Arriving in a country
bringing wealth, companies and property in cleanly
Restructuring a setup that no longer fits
ownership changes, new shareholders, new countries
Cleaning up past non-reporting
quietly, properly, through the correct channels
Who this is for, and who it is not
This fits you if:
Your business and your life are, or will be, in two different countries
You own or are about to own something abroad and want the reporting airtight
You are moving between Canada, the UAE or the USA and want the exit and entry planned
Two advisers in two countries are giving you answers that do not fit together
Probably not, if:
You want someone to bless a structure you have already decided on. I will tell you what I actually think first.
You are looking for a way to simply not report. That is not a structure. That is a liability with a timer on it.
The front door: the Structuring Review
There is no package price for structuring, because no two situations match. The work starts with a Structuring Review. You bring your numbers and your countries.
In 60 minutes we go through what you own, what it triggers in each country, and what I would change. You leave with a written summary. If implementation follows, you get a fixed scope and price for it. General questions that are not structure decisions fit the 30-minute call, from $300.

rules change and businesses grow. The structure gets re-checked before it drifts.
We were comparing UAE, Canada, and the US for our business setup. Haseeb helped us understand the differences clearly and choose a direction with more confidence.
Michael Anderson Haseeb’s guidance was practical and honest. He did not push one option. He explained the best structure based on our goals, market, and future expansion plans.
Ayesha Malik Haseeb helped us understand the right structure before moving into a new market. His advice was clear, practical, and focused on the long-term impact of tax, banking, and compliance.

FAQ
You are taxable in Canada on your worldwide income, and the company must be reported. Whether the company’s own profits are taxed in Canada depends on how it is owned, managed and what it earns. That is precisely what the review determines for your case.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on the business, the margin, and what the reporting costs you. Anyone who answers before seeing your numbers is guessing.
Do not ignore it, and do not panic. There are established ways to come clean that are far better than being found. We deal with it in the review, confidentially.
Not necessarily. Many clients keep their local accountant for filings and use me for the cross-border layer.
Live in one country, earn in another, and pay tax once.
