Business owners with UK and UAE interests

Personal and corporate affairs together

We support business owners whose personal and corporate tax affairs span both jurisdictions, coordinating company tax, owner remuneration, dividends and residence questions.

Common situations we address

• UK founder relocating to Dubai with retained UK trading company
• UAE resident inheriting or acquiring shares in UK close company
• Family holding companies split across London and Dubai with unclear dividend policy
• Owner taking salary from UK company while tax resident in UAE
• UK rental property portfolio maintained after move to UAE
• Non-domiciled UK individual becoming deemed domiciled with UAE assets

Our approach

Owner advisory coordinates company tax, personal tax, remuneration, dividends, residence and reporting across UK and UAE interests. We avoid treating corporate and personal advice in silos, because owner decisions in one jurisdiction typically trigger consequences in the other.

Typical deliverables

• Owner tax fact-find covering UK and UAE positions
• Remuneration and distribution strategy memo
• Company governance review for management and control
• Personal and corporate compliance calendar
• Coordination with legal counsel on wills, trusts and share structure
• Pre-move or post-move implementation checklist
