FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How is exit tax planned?
It depends on the individual facts. Structuring, risk reduction or liquidity planning may be possible, but there is no generic guarantee.
When should planning start?
Before moving. Depending on shareholdings and structure, preparation can take months.
Can a foundation help?
A foundation or DIFC Foundation can be part of the solution if contribution, control, tax consequences and timing fit together.
