Specialist advice · UK to UAE relocation
    Pre-departure planning

    Leave the UK with your tax position settled, not assumed

    Moving to the UAE is not automatically tax-free. We test residence, split-year treatment, your assets and any UK company interests before your departure date fixes the answer.

    IV

    Report delivery

    Automated SRT calculations are reviewed by a senior accountant and delivered with a personalised departure calendar.

    Points the report resolves

    Statutory Residence Test

    The SRT uses automatic overseas and UK tests plus a sufficient ties test to determine residence and whether worldwide income falls within UK tax.

    Split-year treatment

    Where a qualifying case applies, the year is divided into UK and overseas parts. The report identifies the case and tests the relevant income treatment.

    The five ties

    Family, accommodation, work, 90-day and country ties affect how many UK days are available without residence. Each is assessed against your plans.

    Departure timing

    The date can affect split-year treatment, changing UK obligations and the capital gains treatment of asset disposals.

    If plans change

    The report includes scenarios for different departure dates and ties. Material changes can be covered by an annual review or follow-up consultation.
