An offshore bank is a bank located outside the country of residence of the depositor, typically in a low tax jurisdiction (or tax haven) that provides financial and legal advantages. These advantages typically include strong privacy, less restrictive legal regulation, low or no taxation, easy access to deposits, protection against local political or financial instability. Dubai is fast becoming the hub of all the business and commercial activities of the region, a tax free haven and a land of unlimited opportunities.
