A safe pathway to Dubai and the UAE

While the UK is dealing with one of the largest tax rises in its recent history, many are seeing the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — and Dubai specifically — as an attractive alternative place to build a future

The UAE has a longstanding tradition of alliance with the UK going back to Trucial States. It now has a viable business and lifestyle hub for many families and businesses.

UK businesses, from funds to tech organisations, benefit from lower taxes and common law — the law practiced in the UK — and families are seeing the UAE as a good alternative place to base their trusts and foundations compared to countries such as Switzerland. In fact, a few UK-based schools are making the decision even easier for some families, with the latest launch of Harrow School in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Many see the UAE as a gateway to the wider MENA region, which is home to some 400 million people. Indeed, as a member of the GCC, the UAE has a near EU-like trading relationship with most of its neighbours.

Apart from assisting with entry to the UAE including the setting up of companies and assisting with the move, Ruthbergs, a legal 500 ranked full service law firm founded by British expats in the UAE, helps businesses integrate with their new surroundings.
