Q: Hello, I have a question regarding the legality of the following scenario: 1) UAE company 100% owned by individual "A" provides service and invoices of a foreign company of which individual "A" owns 40% share. 2) UAE company 100% owned by individual "A" provides service and invoices of a foreign company of which individual "A" is an employee (CEO, General Manager or such) and has no ownership. All transactions would be made bank to bank transfers, fully transparent, with invoices to support each transaction. The reason I am asking is that I have seen on an online forum (not run by experts) that this might be considered money laundering or illegal invoicing! Your help is much appreciated! I am trying to make sure that any future ventures I might consider are done by the book and according to UAE laws.

Q: Dear Lawyers, A customer deposited cash with the company in order to purchase a vehicle. Now, the customer wishes to transfer the same funds to a leasing company for the purchase of a car. As a result, the car dealer company will sell the car to the car leasing company, which will then deal with the customer. What is the legality of transferring funds to the leasing company on behalf of the customer instead of returning the funds to the customer and having him deposit the funds with the leasing company?
