Hi, hope you're doing well. I need to help to understand the corporation place of management. I want to open a company abroad in the EU and move there for work. Given: I'm UK resident, I open a company in the EU on 20th May 2024. Then I sign a contract with a client for my EU company also on 20th of May for provision of services starting from 1st of June 2024. Leave the UK on 1st of June to the EU and start providing services/working through my EU LTD. Is my understanding correct that the corporate place of management will be in the EU rather than UK and I don't owe any UK tax? The law says that it's determined by where "decisions are made", but I made the decision to open the company and sign a contract whilst in the UK. On other hand, the actual services/trading/work will be done while I was no longer UK resident. Thanks

Hi

The residency of the company is determined by its place of registration and its place of management and control.  
Some companies have dual residence as a result.  This is a complex area, I suggest you refer to HMRC's International Manual and if necessary, a professional accountant.  

Thank you
