Recently UAE has imposed a tax on businesses valuing more than 100k$ at a rate of 9%. Before that, there was not any kind of tax that helped the money launderers to invest their black money in fake companies in the UAE and then turn it into white money. Scammers from all over the world used this method to convert their black money into white. But after the tax imposed on companies, it made it difficult to create a fake company to launder money.
