Free Webinar · UK–UAE Tax Structuring for UK Business Owners

Oops, you just missed it

Q: Does joining guarantee a place?

No. Places are limited and applicants are shortlisted based on relevance to the session topic.

Q: Is this only relevant if I’m planning to move to the UAE?

No. The session is for UK business owners weighing up whether a UAE structure makes sense at all, including those who conclude that it doesn’t.

Q: Why do I need to verify my number?

We text you a one-time code. Verifying makes sure webinar updates reach the correct person and reduces false or duplicate entries.

Q: When will I receive an update?

You will hear from us as soon as the next session date is released, by email and SMS.

(but I’ll be running my live webinar again soon)

It breaks down the difference between setting up a company in the UAE and structuring correctly to legally reduce taxes, and what HMRC may still look at once the UAE company exists.

Why this session matters

A UAE Company Is Only the Start

Opening a company in the UAE does not automatically change your UK tax position.

Understand why your personal circumstances, business activity and the way the company actually operates still matter.

HMRC Looks Beyond the Paperwork

Where decisions are made, what the UAE company actually does and whether the arrangement has genuine commercial substance can all matter.

The webinar explains why the reality behind the structure is more important than the licence itself.

Not Every Business Should Do This

A UAE structure can make sense for certain businesses and make very little sense for others.

Learn the questions that should be answered before you spend money setting anything up.

What the webinar may cover

The difference between moving invoices and building a genuine cross-border business

When a UAE structure genuinely makes commercial sense, and when it doesn’t

Why some UAE structures hold up and others don’t

How UK tax residency and personal circumstances change the answer

Final webinar topics may vary depending on the session.

Structure & Substance

We don’t start with the licence. We start with where the business is actually run, what the UAE entity really does, and how that interacts with your UK tax residency and personal circumstances. It is why two similar-looking businesses can end up with different answers, and why this session is about principles rather than a package.
