You can't update your UAE company to UK company. You need to open a "new business" account and connect it to your personal account by giving admin permission.
Yes, it matters. UK LLP is a tax transparent entity. It means UK LLP's tax residency depends on partners' tax residency. If partners have zero tax residency(like UAE) then UK LLP will be a tax-free entity as long as you don't perform any business inside UK.
Dear @rowena. After one year of using UK LLP, can you share some experiences? Do you get bank account in any traditional bank or just use Wise as your main "bank"? I also want to have an UK LLP as I don't have business related to UK
Very good so far. I didn't approach any traditional bank because Wise or any other EMI accept my business and they don't make any problems for my transactions.
Good news
Do you have to submit annual return or do any account audit process? I want to use my company and myself as 2 members to form an UK LLP. Any recommendation/note from you will help me so much
Thank you
No audit. You need to submit an annual return but the amount you declare will be zero because you only report your UK-based income. I will send you a recommendation.
