International Tax Advisory

Cross-border expertise for globally mobile clients.

As borders become more fluid and business increasingly international, the tax landscape has never been more complex—or more consequential. At JSM Private Wealth, we advise individuals and families whose lives and assets span multiple jurisdictions, particularly between the UK and the UAE. Our international tax advisory service is tailored for those facing key decisions around relocation, residency, wealth preservation, and compliance.

We work closely with clients before, during, and after significant transitions—whether moving abroad, exiting the UK tax net, investing cross-border, or establishing new structures. Our approach is not reactive; it’s proactive, strategic, and deeply informed.

Our services include:

  • UK exit and non-residence planning: Advising on the optimal timing and structure of leaving the UK, including the application of the Statutory Residence Test, ties to the UK, and minimising exposure to future UK taxes.

  • Domicile and deemed domicile advisory: Navigating the impact of UK domicile rules on worldwide assets and future inheritance tax liabilities, particularly for clients with long-term UK ties or returning expatriates.

  • Remittance basis planning: For non-doms, we provide robust guidance on how to use the remittance basis effectively and how to structure offshore income and gains to minimise UK tax exposure.

  • Double tax treaty application: Applying and leveraging relevant treaties to avoid double taxation and clarify taxing rights between the UK and other jurisdictions, particularly the UAE.

  • Relocation tax strategy: For clients moving to or from the UAE, we advise on structuring employment income, dividends, business interests, and passive income to ensure long-term tax efficiency.

  • Pre-arrival and departure planning: Helping clients align disposals, restructuring, and entity use with tax-year dates and reliefs to ensure optimal positioning.

Our strength lies in combining technical expertise with a strategic lens. We don’t just navigate rules—we help shape outcomes.
