Hello I am British and currently a resident in Dubai, I have set up my business in Dubai and have a few UK based Clients who I invoice and work for remotely. I would like to check how I receive payment for my invoices without the income being treated as UK income for Tax Purposes since my business is registered in Dubai. Am I able to invoice UK based Clients in £'s and receive the money into my UK bank account and be exempt from UK Tax? Or do I need to receive the payment into a UAE registered bank account? Could the money be received into a Revolut bank account without it being UK taxable? Thank you

Hi,
HMRC cannot give tax planning advice.
However it does not matter what account the money is recived into, if it taxable in the Uk or Dubai it will still be taxable in the UK or Dubai. 
You will need to review the double taxation treaties and decide where the amounts are taxable and declare them using the appropriate returns.
Guidance can be found at Tax treaties
If you do get taxed twice on an income, or it needs to be declared in both the UK and Dubai, you can look at double taxation relief or certificate
of residence depending income source. 
Thank you.
