How to Leave the UK (become non-resident, 0% tax)

🇦🇪 Want to get set up in Dubai? Book a Free Consultation - www.genzone.co/booking/dubais...
I left the UK 2 years ago, and since then my life has completely changed, I have more freedom, more money, better weather and a much richer life, and since then I have been helping and advicing many people who wanted to do the same,
So you want to leave the UK as well - you are tired of the crime, the taxes, the weather and the overall declining society and you are ready to escape, then in this video I am going to tell you how to do that.
it might seem like it is as simple as packing your bags and booking a flight to another country, but it is absolutely not, and there are many things that most people fail to consider when it comes to PROPERLY become UK non-resident for tax purposes, because unless you do this right, the UK may still keep taxing you, to deal with any existing businesses you might have in the UK, to know what to do with bank accounts you have in the UK, adeal with any exit tax you might have to pay to the UK and of course to get a proper residence permit and set yourself up in your new chosen country.

I think the main problem with all bloggers is that they see countries solely from their position. Naturally, if you work online, you're a blogger and the money drops on your card, it's better to live in Bali or Phuket. But what are the salaries in those places for the average person? Besides, if we talk about the cons of England, we should take into account that other countries also have cons. For example, it is silly to talk about the climate in England, and in another video praise Dubai. Where the average temperature is like on Mars. Or Bali, where the infrastructure is like that of a slumdog action movie.

We are half Greek/English family, all our children moved the UK in the past 5 years, all have made good lives for themselves, all have good careers and all earn a good salary compared to Greek salaries! The weathers not great but they come home often!! What is good for some is bad for others, our son visited Dubai and said he could never live in that heat and he's Greek!!!!!!! You said Dubai has no crime but there are plenty of videos online regarding all the criminals moving to Dubai. You can make a good life in most places, you have to work at it!!!! The UK still has lots of opportunities for those who want it!!

The UK and indeed Western Europe is in the decline, failing states that have been crippled by over population and failed multiculturalism. The only way left for our governments is to increase taxes on the population. They have no clue how to create an environment for economic growth. Some would say it’s part of the plan toward totalitarianism. We need total change

[@LordAstrowaffle]

Isn’t it possible to leave the UK company open whilst owning it from overseas? But without an ‘operator’ resident in the Uk (because the company just comprises one person). I’m talking about instances where you don’t want to go through the hassle of opening/transferring the company in your new country of residence

[@tuomaskiv]

I supposed yes, I’m not sure but you may still need to file tax returns to the UK etc and prove to them the company is non UK resident - I can’t recall the details. It may be more hassle in the long run to do that but doable.

[@anthonyrogers4726]

​@tuomaskiv a UK registered company will always be subject to UK corporation tax and can't become non resident. However it is possible to shift the ownership of the UK company to an offshore holding company and charge management fees from offshore.

[@lisabeaumont]

Your UK pension will still be paid to you wherever you’ve gone. You can pay for private healthcare insurance in whatever country you go to, or use the local public healthcare.

[@zenastronomy]

does uk non resident mean non citizen or is it just for tax purposes? are you giving up your citizenship? or is it just tax purposes, you are saying you are working and living abroad

[@jaysterling26]

I haven't watched the video, yet. However, it's very hard not to avoid being liable for UK taxes ( if citizen) - you must own nothing and have no UK contacts , essentially ( I'm probably wrong) See Adam Fayed , or similar expert , for this information.

[@tuomaskiv]

Non resident means non resident, ie you don’t live there for tax purposes. Citizenship is separate, by default you keep your citizenship. I am still a Finnish citizen even though I have been non Finnish resident for years.

The UK is still way better for risk takers than other parts of Europe e.g. The Netherlands. UK is also still a relatively low tax country compared to rest of Europe (Institute for Fiscal Studies confirmed). The worst part of UK is the rising lack of civility and increasing crime.

@@JohnHarthomstowCEO what if UK govt enacts a law like US that all US passport holders have to still pay tax even if they work in Dubai?

@dr.a.m he was talking about illegal migrants, and illegal migration got completely out of control, and working people need to pay for their accommodation, food, healthcare and etc and at the same time our economy is in decline, nhs is on its knees, not enough housing and etc

[@dr.a.m.]

@@arikkatz6611 If they are worried about illegal immigrants, then they should not bomb other countries and create illegal immigrants in the first place. Their paper currency system (created by Keynesian economics), ganging up with creation of global financial system after 2nd world war is the means to exploit other countries in West Asia and Africa ( with actual wealth and human resources) and rule over them indirectly and make them fight amongst themselves. Illegal migrants issue is the UK is now an election gimmick and most common British voters are not willing to look at their own history. They handed over their empire in West Asia to the US and now they are just an obedient poodle dog to the US hegemony and wars. UK stopped producing children in 60's when they spread the lies and blamed poor countries in South Asia and Africa that they are poor because they have multiple children. There is no way, Britain or any European country is going to remain a prosperous country in the next 50 years solely because of demographics of more older population and lesser younger working people who can pay the tax to feed the old pensioners. Old people in the UK don't want to admit the blessing that they are living longer than the previous generation that died earlier. American foreign policy is being controlled by AIPAC and they are going to bring Europe down because of their wars in Ukraine and West Asia. Professional Immigrants in the UK are the only reason UK economy can grow - We pay higher rates of taxes while we did not take any benefit from the system during growing up years. If Brits don't like immigrants, then they should be ready to be more poor and even more grumpier and die in the NHS without >40% staff who are foreigners. They have no choice. Labour has been bought by Zionists as well and they will continue the same policies that suits only the globalist agenda. The Fund raiser for Starmer is the same guy who was the fund raiser for Blair who lied about WMD in Iraq and killed 500000 people in Iraq.

@@tuomaskiv Notice how you’re making a case for tax avoidance being moral, and then trivialised it as an obvious thing.

As with all taxation efforts it’s not perfect but it does show what we think is fair.

That's a strange critique, if he's not a UK resident why would he pay UK tax?

[@XeonSX]

@@JohnHarthomstowCEO You need to deconstruct what it means to pay tax to understand why residency alone isn’t a good determinant. In general, I’d say participation in society is at the root of tax paying. Societies, mainly scoped by geographical locations are creating environments for economic activity. Participation in that activity should not be free because it takes resources to create and maintain that environment. With introduction of Internet and sale of services across geographic boundaries created a loophole where you can participate in society without paying. This is exploitation, by one society of another.
