Clean Break Review™
Already left the UK and not sure you did it cleanly? Find out exactly where you stand on UK tax — reviewed by a UK-registered tax adviser, explained in plain English.
Plenty of people move to Dubai before they get any advice — then start to wonder whether they actually left the UK tax system behind, or just stopped thinking about it. The Clean Break Review answers that question properly, so you know where you are now and what (if anything) needs putting right.
This is for you if you've already moved and you're unsure:
- whether you're genuinely UK non-resident now, under the Statutory Residence Test
- if your departure year was handled correctly (split-year treatment)
- what you might not have filed — a P85, or a final Self Assessment return
- how to avoid accidentally re-triggering UK residency
- what UK tax still applies to you — property, rental income, pensions
No judgement, either. Lots of people leave without planning it perfectly. The point isn't what you missed — it's knowing where you stand now and sorting it.

What the review covers
A qualified UK tax adviser works through your position and produces a plain-English written summary covering:
- Your 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.
