Advisory note · April 2025
For UK-resident non-domiciled individuals

The end of UK Non-Dom. What now.

The UK's remittance basis was abolished on 6 April 2025. Long-term non-domiciled residents are now exposed to UK tax on worldwide income and gains, and inheritance tax on global assets after ten years of UK residence. The four-year FIG regime offers limited transitional cover — but the structural answer for most HNW individuals lies elsewhere.

We work with private clients and family offices to build tax-efficient post-Non-Dom structures. The right answer is rarely one jurisdiction — it is the right combination of residency, holding architecture and wealth structuring across Ireland, the UAE and Cyprus.

What you get

Three outcomes. Delivered, not promised.

You came here to solve something specific. A holding that works. A bank account that opens. A structure that lets you sleep at night. We focus on outcomes that move the business forward — and we own the timeline.

6 weeks
From signature to operational
Company formed, bank account opened, first transactions cleared. We move quickly because we have done it many times before.
Zero
Surprises in compliance
Confidential by default. Every filing, every disclosure, every signature is reviewed in advance. No regulatory letters you didn't expect.
One team
From strategy to first transfer
No handoffs to local agents. No middle layers. The same advisors who design the structure execute it and stay with you afterwards.
Three jurisdictions

One firm. The right doors.

The strongest structures rarely sit in a single country. We hold direct capability across Ireland, the UAE and Cyprus — and design across them. Each jurisdiction earns its place for a specific reason. Together they cover residency, holding, operating and treaty needs for nearly every private client and operating group we work with.

What we deliver

Three pillars. One outcome.

You don't need another consultant who explains options. You need someone who delivers the structure, opens the account, and handles the paperwork — so you can stay focused on the business. Each engagement is built around a clear deliverable and a named timeline.

The right structure, in the right country.

Multi-jurisdiction structuring & incorporation.

  • Holding companies — Ireland, Cyprus, UAE
  • Operating subsidiaries with EU treaty access
  • UAE free zone and mainland entities
  • Foreign founder onboarding without friction
  • Substance & presence built to current standards
  • Cross-border restructuring, in-house
ii.

Lower exposure. Higher certainty.

Tax advisory · corporate & private.

  • UK Non-Dom transition planning
  • Personal tax residency & relocation strategy
  • Cyprus Non-Dom & UAE 0% structures
  • Corporate tax planning that holds up under audit
  • Transfer pricing — defensible, documented
  • Annual filings and reviews, never late
iii.

An account that opens. The first time.

Banking & financial infrastructure.

  • Corporate accounts at established institutions
  • Private banking & HNW relationships
  • UAE, Irish & Cypriot banking — coordinated
  • EMI & PI licensing, end-to-end
  • Multi-currency operations, configured for scale
  • KYC & compliance, prepared in advance
Built for

Private wealth and serious operators.

HNW & family offices

You hold significant capital and need quiet, durable structures across the right jurisdictions.

Post-Non-Dom planners

You're long-term UK resident, the regime has changed, and the right answer is no longer in Britain.

Founders & operators

You're scaling a business and the existing structure costs more than it returns.

Tech & SaaS groups

You need a holding architecture that protects IP and survives a serious due diligence review.

Fintech & regulated

You need licensing done with strategic depth — not a checklist agency turning paperwork.

How it works

Four steps. Six weeks. Operational.

Most engagements move from first call to a working entity with an active bank account in six weeks. The process is structured, the timeline is committed, and you know exactly what is happening at every stage.

1

The strategy call

A focused conversation about your business, your jurisdictions, and what you actually need. No pitching.

Day 0 · Confidential · 30 min
2

The blueprint

A written memo with the recommended structure, the tax implications, and a clear path forward.

Within 7 days

The build

Incorporation, banking, documentation. Coordinated by us, executed in Dublin, signed off in advance.

Weeks 2 to 6
4

The partnership

Ongoing compliance, filings, and strategic advice as the business grows and the rules shift.

Year-round
Why work with us

A partner, not a process.

You will work with the people who designed your structure — not a back office, not a junior, not an outsourced agent. The team that promises the timeline is the team that delivers it.

i.

You will not be managed by a junior.

Senior advisors are involved from the strategy call through to ongoing compliance. The people who own the relationship are the people executing the work.

ii.

The timeline is a commitment.

Six weeks from signature to operational. We say it because we have done it. When something risks the timeline, you hear it from us first.

iii.

Confidentiality is the default.

What you share with us stays with us. Documentation is structured so the right people see the right things — and nothing more. NDAs available before the first call.

iv.

One team. One number to call.

From the strategy memo to the first wire transfer to the next year's filings — the same advisors stay with you. No handoffs, no reintroductions, no losing context.

Common questions

Honest answers, upfront.

I'm a UK long-term resident hit by Non-Dom abolition. Where do we start?

+

The first call is a residency and exposure review. We map where you are taxed today, what the FIG transitional regime gives you, and the right alternative — which is usually the UAE for personal residency, Cyprus for Non-Dom protection inside the EU, or a combination of both with an Irish holding layer. Confidential, no commitment, no template answers.

Why three jurisdictions and not just one?

+

Because no single country answers every question. The UAE gives 0% on personal income but no EU treaty access. Cyprus gives 17 years of Non-Dom inside the EU but limits operating activity. Ireland gives the strongest treaty network in Europe but no personal tax advantage. The right structure usually combines two — sometimes all three — and the design is what we are paid to do.

Are you advisors or just incorporators?

+

Advisors first. The structure is the output, not the product. We will not register a company we do not believe in, and we routinely tell prospective clients that their first instinct was wrong. The strategy memo precedes any filing — and if the memo says "do nothing", that is what it says.

How fast can you actually move?

+

Six weeks from signed engagement to operational entity with active banking is our committed pace for most structures. UAE residency typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on visa pathway; Cyprus Non-Dom registration depends on physical presence requirements. We tell you the timeline on the first call — and then we hold ourselves to it.

How is my information protected?

+

Confidentiality is structured into how we work. NDAs available before the first conversation. Document access is compartmentalized — only the people working on your file see your file. We never publish client lists, never share names, and never disclose engagements without explicit consent.

What does an engagement cost?

+

It depends on the complexity of what you are building. After the strategy call we provide a fixed-fee proposal — no hourly billing, no surprises. For a single-jurisdiction incorporation with banking and first-year compliance, expect a defined package; for cross-border or HNW relocation work we scope individually. Most engagements settle within a clear range we can indicate on the first call.

Will I be passed off to a junior?

+

No. The senior advisor on your first call is the senior advisor on your structure, your filings, and your annual review. The whole point of working with us instead of a larger firm is that the relationship does not get diluted.

Do I need to physically relocate to make this work?

+

Sometimes. Personal tax residency strategies — UAE 0%, Cyprus 60-day rule — require real presence and real ties; we are not in the business of paper residencies that do not survive scrutiny. Corporate and holding structures, by contrast, can often be operated remotely with appropriate substance. The right answer depends on what you are trying to protect.

Begin

Six weeks from now, operational.

One conversation tells us whether we are the right partner. If we are, you leave that call with a clear path. If we are not, you leave with a sharper view of your options. Either way, your time is respected.

i. A senior advisor responds within one business day.
ii. The first call is confidential and at no cost.
iii. You leave with a clear next step — or a clear no.
