The transfer of a company’s registration from one jurisdiction to another without winding it up and forming a new entity, so the same legal person continues with its contracts and history intact. UAE common-law free zones such as the ADGM and DIFC allow companies to redomicile in.
The long-standing test that treats a company as tax resident where its real top-level decisions are actually made, rather than where it is registered. A founder who relocates but keeps controlling the company from the old country may not have moved its residence at all.
