Dubai Forums Dubai Expat Forums Working in Dubai

Hi there

I would really appreciate any help or guidance. I am moving to Dubai in a couple of weeks. My current employer will continue to employ me and I will be working remotely from Dubai.
I am a UK citizen and my employer is a Singaporean company.
I do not know where to start when it comes to the kind of Visa required?
Will I pay tax to the UK?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello Wanderlust1980,

You will not be liable for UK tax if your Employer is based in Singapore and you will be based in Dubai.

Kind regards

Hi, can you share your experience how you got the job?

As per my knowledge dubai is a tax free country. So there wont be any tax.

i also think so

you wont pay any tax. confirmed!

Wanderlust1980 , No way, dubai is a tax free country and that is the reason why expats are moving to gulf nation. no you will not.
