International Tax Risk Calculator

Understand your international tax exposure in about two minutes

Relocating to the UAE, or running a UAE company with interests that reach across borders, can leave tax exposure in more than one country at the same time. The International Tax Risk Calculator gives you an indicative, confidential view of where that exposure may sit — before a tax authority raises it for you.

Answer nine short questions and you will receive a risk score from 0 to 100, with a clear band from very low to extremely high. It takes around two minutes, and there is nothing to prepare.

What it looks at

• Personal tax residency — where you spend your time and where your economic and family ties remain.
• Substance — whether your UAE company has real operations, or is mainly a holding or invoicing entity.
• Permanent establishment — whether the business is effectively managed, or earns its income, from your home country.
• Transfer pricing — dealings with related companies or individuals abroad.
• Disclosure and structure — assets left behind, home-country filing status, and the complexity of your overall structure.

Who it is for

Individuals who have moved, or plan to move, to the UAE, and owners of UAE companies whose beneficial owners, clients, or assets sit in more than one jurisdiction. If any part of your life or business still touches another country, the calculator will show you where the pressure points are.
