One8

One strategy,
executed across borders.

Every one8 engagement is built from two halves: a clean exit from your home country and a compliant arrival in the jurisdiction that fits your life and business. Below is what we handle, and where.

Core Service

Home country deregistration & exit

Leaving a tax system is not the same as simply leaving the country. Done poorly, you can keep an unexpected tax residency for years. Done well, you sever the tie cleanly and defensibly.

We handle:

  • Tax residency analysis – determining exactly what binds you to your current system (days present, home available, economic ties, family, center of vital interests).
  • Exit planning & timing – sequencing your departure to minimize exposure and address any exit or departure tax.
  • Deregistration filings – formally notifying and deregistering with the relevant tax and civil authorities.
  • Severing ties correctly – housing, business, banking, and dependents structured so your non-residency actually holds.
  • Departure documentation – a clean paper trail you can rely on if ever questioned.

 

This is the foundation. Get it wrong, and the destination doesn’t matter. Get it right, and everything else works.

Dubai / United Arab Emirates

For those who want zero personal income tax and a life they’d actually choose to live.

The UAE has become the default destination for globally mobile founders and investors – and for good reason. It pairs a genuinely low-tax environment with real infrastructure, safety, connectivity, and lifestyle.

Why the UAE

  • 0% personal income tax on salaries and most personal income.
  • Attractive corporate regime, including free zone structures with significant benefits.
  • No tax on most capital gains or dividends at the personal level.
  • Residency you can build on – tied to company formation, property, or long-term visa routes.
  • World-class banking, travel connectivity, and stability.

 

What we set up

  • Mainland or free zone company formation, matched to your business.
  • UAE residency visas for you and your family.
  • Emirates ID, bank account opening, and required registrations.
  • Tax residency certificate support, where you qualify.
  • Substance and structuring so your position is genuine and defensible.

Singapore

Hong Kong

For those who want a territorial tax system and free-flowing capital.

Hong Kong remains one of the most efficient places on the planet to base an international business. Its territorial tax system means, in principle, only income sourced in Hong Kong is taxed there – and rates are low even then.

  • Low, simple tax rates on profits and salaries.

  • Residency and business-presence planning.
  • Accounting, audit coordination, and annual compliance.

Turks & Caicos Islands

For those who want true zero-tax simplicity in a stable jurisdiction.

For clients whose priority is the cleanest possible tax profile, the Turks and Caicos Islands are hard to beat. A British Overseas Territory with political and legal stability, it levies no direct taxes on individuals or companies.

Why Turks & Caicos

  • Zero income tax. Zero corporate tax.
  • Zero capital gains tax. Zero inheritance or estate tax.
  • Stable British Overseas Territory with a familiar legal framework.
  • Straightforward company formation and residency-by-investment routes.
  • English-speaking, connected, and secure.

 

What we set up

  • Company / IBC formation and administration.
  • Permanent Residence Certificate routes via investment.
  • Banking and asset-holding structures.
  • Coordination with your exit strategy for a clean overall position.

Not sure which jurisdiction fits?

That’s the point of the first conversation. The right base depends on your income sources, your business, your family, your citizenship, and your appetite for relocation. We’ll tell you honestly which of these – if any – is right for you.
