contents In this paper we consider gauge theories that are relativistic and scale-invariant, and we construct their deformed versions via suitable star products. In particular, the non-commutative structure is controlled by Drinfel'd twists that are built out of symmetry generators that include the scale transformation. To achieve this, we construct a twisted differential calculus that allows us to identify the proper gauge-covariant quantities. We also show that our construction is equivalent to twists where the symmetry generators are implemented as active transformations of fields. As a consequence of our construction, the deformed gauge theories possess a twisted version of the original symmetry group. Moreover, at the planar level, the deformation is encoded just on the external legs of Feynman diagrams, leaving then the amputated diagrams undeformed. This work extends previous constructions and allows us to define twist-deformations of $\mathcal N=4$ super Yang-Mills that are conjectured to be holographically dual to a class of homogeneous Yang-Baxter deformations of $AdS_5\times S^5$.
