Boxing superstar Anthony Joshua is quitting the UK to move to Dubai - even though the desert city is now in a warzone with thousands of Britons desperate to get out. Joshua would have been liable to pay UK tax on his dividend payment of £10.1million in 2024 and £6.3million in 2023. His company Sparta Promotions also made profits of £20.396million and paid £6.65million in UK tax in 2024. If individuals spend 183 days or more in the UK they are considered a UK tax resident, but if it is fewer than 16 days they would not be considered resident and eligible for taxes. There has been speculation that the attacks on Dubai could see property prices there fall by as much as 20%.
