EP91 | The Right Way to Move From the UK to Dubai (Tax, HMRC & Structuring Explained) | Joshua Tharby

In this episode of The Multipliers Club Podcast, we're joined by Joshua Tharby — UK-qualified accountant, Chartered Tax Adviser, author, and founder of JSM Partners — recorded here in Dubai. Joshua is one of the most trusted voices when it comes to UK tax planning, international structuring, and relocating from the UK to Dubai the right way. In this conversation, we cut through the misinformation and break down what business owners actually need to understand before making the move. We dive deep into the reality of UK tax residency, how HMRC really thinks, and why simply "setting up a Dubai company" does not remove you from the UK tax net. Joshua explains how to correctly structure yourself and your business in Dubai so you can legally reduce tax, stay compliant, and avoid costly mistakes that could lead to six- or seven-figure tax bills.  What we cover in this episode: • UK tax residency rules and common HMRC red flags • Why most UK-to-Dubai setups are done incorrectly • How to properly structure a business in Dubai • The difference between UK tax planning and Dubai tax structuring • What business owners must do to legally exit the UK tax system • Real-world examples Joshua sees every single day This is not surface-level tax talk. It's a practical, no-nonsense breakdown from someone who advises entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners on this exact move every day. If you're considering moving from the UK to Dubai, already living abroad, or want to understand how to stop overpaying tax while staying fully compliant — this episode is a must-listen.  Follow The Multipliers Club Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themultipliersclub.podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMultipliersClub  Follow Joshua Tharby here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuatharby YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JoshuaTharby  Want help growing your business or personal brand with content, paid ads, or AI?
