I am currently regarded as a soletrader in the UK & getting hammered on the tax front because of my trading activities. Annoyingly the exchanges I use most are derivatives which are not FCA regulated in the UK. This complexes my tax situation & ability to trade/hedge as effectively as I would like. As the UK is never likely to change their framework on trading unlicensed derivatives I really need to move.
My plan at the moment while I am young is to get out to see the world while minimising my tax burden. Looking at various routes & I think I've come up with a plan:
1 - Set up a UAE company with banking done in Europe
2 - Put all trading activities & profits through the company
3 - Travel the world with my savings taking minimum salary making sure to plan around all tax jurisdictions & be classed as a non-resident in the UK
4 - When tired of travelling after a few years move to Dubai for a longer duration to acquire a tax domicile certificate.
5 - Once i have the certificate start taking profits out of the company as salary / dividends while being protected by the UAE double taxation agreements.
What does everyone think of this?
