Relocate to Dubai

Our business set-up service for business owners looking to move to Dubai. There's so much information out there it can be difficult to know who to trust.

See below for some of the services we offer and clients we work with.

Non-Residence Tax Advice

Although Dubai might be (income) tax free, where you’re currently living likely won’t be. We’ll understand your current position and advise what you expect to save moving to Dubai in taxes to see if it's worth your while. And, most importantly, we'll advise how to safeguard your tax position in your home country so the tax man doesn’t come after you for the tax they’ve missed out on if and when you return!

Advice Around VISAs

The type of visa you need depends on whether you are setting up in a Dubai Free Zone or on the mainland. There are also options depending on how long you expect to live in Dubai and whether you have family members. We can advise you on the best route for your circumstances and hold your hand throughout the process.

Who We Work With

Content Creators and Influencers

We work with several well known content creators and influencers you’ll have heard of. Because we specialise in this sector, we understand how the creator world operates, how income is received, what the VAT treatment is for different income sources and so on. If you’re a creator we’ll help you manage the transfer of your business without falling foul of tax legislation that many generalist accountants are unaware of.

Solopreneurs

We’ve expanded our offering to include Solopreneurs like you who have grown a successful online business and are able to work from anywhere. Dubai is a very attractive location, not just in terms of taxes but also because of the thriving community of solo-preneurs that have moved there for a better lifestyle and environment to succeed.

Entrepreneurs and Business Owners

More and more entrepreneurs are making the move to Dubai because of the benefits on offer. With the world becoming a smaller place to work, manage business and hire talent, we’re helping many ambitious business owners manage their move to Dubai whilst still being able to run operations in their home country. With the right structuring, you can have the best of both worlds.

Frequently asked questions about moving and setting up a business in Dubai

Can I set up a business in Dubai to save tax but still live in my home country?

Short answer: no! To get the tax benefits of being in Dubai, you need to live there for at least 6 months of the year. There are also rules which your home country will have around how many days you can return to avoid remaining tax resident in your home country. The key is establishing ‘non-residence’ in your home country and ‘residence’ in Dubai to get the tax benefits. We go through what this would mean for you in the initial Consultation.

Is Dubai completely tax free?

At the moment, there is no income tax in the Dubai which means any income you earn whilst resident of the UAE, you won’t have to pay tax on. However, they have now introduced corporation tax at a maximum rate of 9% payable on business profits. There are however some favourable exemptions which you can take advantage of by structuring your company in the right way. We can advise what these are in the initial Consultation.

Can I run my UK business from Dubai?

You can run a business from anywhere these days if you are set up to do so. The key thing is your personal tax residence because that will drive how you are taxed. If you can make yourself ‘non resident’ for UK tax purposes then you will benefit from not having to pay UK income tax and mitigate corporation tax too to a certain extent. Careful planning is required though to avoid falling foul of tax legislation and transfer pricing regulations.
