I mean if I spent my whole year in the UAE And I didn't even trade with the UK at all would I still be charged UK tax even though I havnt done any business with the UK at all?
Thanks
2 posts ago you said you spend most of the time in the UK.
If you move to Dubai and run the business entirely from Dubai then there are no issues, but that doesn't seem to be the case here?
The question is where the company's central management and control is based. If you are the management and control and you are in the UK the company is (for tax purposes) in the UK. If you are based in Dubai then the company is based in Dubai for tax purposes and not subject to UK tax.
Unfortunately we see this regularly that offshore company formations agencies will say that you can simply appoint a nominee director offshore and the company is magically free from tax. HMRC see through this and have done so for a long time. As Maths mentioned, at that point you are evading tax that should be paid in the UK and committing fraud.
