Clean Break Review
British, now based in the UAE — but never properly sorted the UK side of leaving? Find out exactly where you stand on UK tax, reviewed by a UK-registered tax adviser and explained in plain English.
A lot of people set up here first and deal with the UK afterwards — or assume that moving abroad simply switched their UK tax off. Often it doesn't, not by itself. The Clean Break Review tells you where you actually stand back in the UK, so there are no surprises later.
This is for you if you're now in the UAE and unsure:
- whether you're genuinely UK non-resident, under the Statutory Residence Test
- if your UK departure year was handled correctly (split-year treatment)
- what you might not have filed in the UK — a P85, or a final Self Assessment return
- how trips back to the UK could re-trigger UK residency
- what UK tax still applies — property, rental income, pensions
No judgement. Plenty of people get the UAE side moving and leave the UK loose ends for "later". This is later — and it's better to know.

What the review covers
A qualified UK tax adviser works through your position and produces a plain-English written summary covering:
- Your UK residence status today — where you land under the SRT, on your actual day counts and ties
- Your departure year — whether split-year treatment applied and was handled correctly
- Outstanding filings — P85, a final Self Assessment return, anything still owed to HMRC
- The five-year trap — your exposure under the temporary non-residence rules, and how not to re-trigger residency
- What UK tax still touches you — UK property (and NRCGT), rental income, pensions
- Clear next steps — what to do, and which parts the adviser can handle for you
How it works
- You tell us where you are. Request the review above and we'll send you a short, structured questionnaire — dates, day counts, ties, income, property.
- A UK-registered tax adviser reviews it. We arrange for a qualified adviser to work through your position.
- You get a clear written summary. Where you stand, what's outstanding, and exactly what to do next.
