Editorial
team.
Every guide, case study, news article and FAQ on this site is reviewed by qualified counsel within ArxSetup or one of our two affiliated practices, Neo Legal (UAE) and Cornwalls (Australia). The firm is institution-led — clients are introduced to the specific counsel handling their matter at engagement, not via marketing biography. Below is the editorial governance behind everything you read here.
Three layers of editorial review.
Drafting counsel
Initial draft is prepared by a senior member of the ArxSetup incorporation, tax or regulatory practice, depending on subject. Drafting counsel is qualified and has direct client-matter experience in the area covered.
Subject-matter partner review
A partner-level reviewer at Neo Legal (UAE corporate/tax) or Cornwalls (Australian corporate/tax) reads every piece before publication, with sign-off on statutory citations, regulator references and procedural accuracy.
Live-data refresh
Pricing, government fees, regulator processes and statutory citations are reviewed quarterly against primary sources (MoF, FTA, DET, ADDED, ADGM, DIFC, VARA, ACRA, ASIC, IRAS, BVI FSC, CIMA).

Statutory accuracy and primary-source fidelity.
- UAE Corporate Tax — every reference traces back to Federal Decree-Law 47 of 2022, Cabinet Decision 100 of 2023 (Qualifying Income), Ministerial Decision 265 of 2023 (Qualifying Activities), and current MoF/FTA guidance.
- UAE Mainland Ownership — Federal Decree-Law 32 of 2021 and the Cabinet Resolution 55/2021 Positive List remain the controlling instruments.
- VARA — VA Issuance Rulebook (Q1 2026 amendments), Company Rulebook, Compliance & Risk Management Rulebook, Market Conduct Rulebook.
- BVI — Business Companies (Amendment) Act 2024, ITA Rules v4, BOSS Act (now VIRRGIN-administered).
- Singapore — Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 (commenced 9 June 2025), Companies Act 1967, IRAS e-Tax Guides.
- Cross-references — every double-tax treaty cited is verified against the MoF/FTA published treaty register and the counterparty jurisdiction's tax authority.
