Setting up a company in Ireland?

Incorporation is only the first step.

The right structure depends on what the company will do, where it will be managed, what local presence it needs, and how it fits with your existing UK or UAE operations.

Getting these decisions right from the start can help avoid future tax, governance and compliance issues.

At Boru Consulting, we advise founders on Irish company setup and cross-border structures involving Ireland, the UK and UAE.

Your UK home after moving to Dubai

Moving to Dubai takes most assets out of UK tax. The UK home is the exception.

A non-resident still pays capital gains tax on a UK property sale, reports it within 60 days, keeps a UK residence tie for as long as the home is available, and leaves the property inside UK inheritance tax however long they have been gone.

The UAE family office

A family office in the DIFC or ADGM runs the family’s wealth; it does not hold it. It is a taxable service company at 9%, and its fee income does not reach the free zone 0% rate.

Because it is where the decisions are made, it is the entity most exposed to UK tax residence if the principal runs it from London.

The transparent trust trap

Since 6 April 2025 the offshore settlor-interested trust is transparent for income tax and capital gains tax. Its non-UK assets sit inside UK inheritance tax while the settlor is a long-term UK resident.

The question left is whether to keep, collapse, or re-home it.

Opening a company in Ireland is often seen as a route to EU market access.

In practice, EU access may explain why founders start looking at Ireland, but it does not determine how the structure should actually work: who controls it, where decisions are genuinely made, and how it connects to what you already operate in the UK or the UAE.

This carousel outlines three areas founders should think through before setup: management and control, substance and local presence, and how the Irish entity fits alongside an existing UK or UAE structure.

At Boru Consulting, we design Irish structures with the wider picture in mind, considering how the new entity integrates with existing operations, tax positions, governance and long-term business plans across jurisdictions.

If you are planning to establish or review an Irish structure, arrange a consultation through the Contact Us button or send us a DM to discuss your plans.

The transfer pricing disclosure trap

The first UAE Corporate Tax return for a calendar-year entity is due by 30 September 2026. The transfer-pricing disclosure sits inside it.

A management fee or intercompany loan to a UK holding company that lacks contemporaneous benchmarking is exposed the moment the return is filed.

The property SPV trap: a 9% UAE corporate tax the owner would not pay

Holding a Dubai property through an ADGM or DIFC SPV was the standard way to avoid the 4% transfer fee. Since UAE corporate tax arrived, that wrapper is a taxable person at 9% on net profit.

The same property held in personal name is outside corporate tax.

The temporary non-residence trap

A UK founder who moves to Dubai, sells a business or crypto while non-resident, then returns within five years can find the gain pulled back into UK capital gains tax on return.

The temporary non-residence rules are mechanical, and split-year treatment does not switch them off.

The UAE Golden Visa and tax residency

A UAE Golden Visa gives you the right to live in Dubai. It does not, on its own, make you a UAE tax resident.

Tax residency is a separate test run by the Federal Tax Authority. A treaty certificate needs 183 days in the country, not just a visa in your passport.
