The Real Problem Most People Miss
Exiting UK tax is not just about moving. It’s about removing structural traps:
- Still using UK bank accounts
- Returning to a UK property regularly
- Billing clients through a UK Ltd
- Running operations from the UK despite a UAE license
- Failing the SRT day count or centre of control test
These create audit risk, double taxation, and clawbacks.
Key point: You can serve UK clients tax-free from Dubai — but only if you pass SRT, prove substance, and cut UK economic ties.
