Dubai company setup for Irish citizens
Irish ordinary residence can continue for three years after you leave, which affects some income and gains.
Irish points to review
- Residence: day-count tests over one or two years.
- Ordinary residence continues for three tax years after becoming non-resident, keeping some income and gains within Irish tax.
- The Ireland–UAE tax treaty can help with dual residence.
- Company residence: management and control of the UAE company should be in the UAE.
Practical points
Irish citizens can visit the UAE without a prior visa, and Irish licences can generally be exchanged.
