The UAE’s foundation regime is one of the most powerful tools for wealth planning in the world, but thanks to the corporate tax law, many families are using it the wrong way and exposing themselves to unnecessary tax.

In this episode of Wealth Uncensored, Jimmy Sexton, founder of Esquire Group, explains how UAE foundations are by default treated as taxable companies, but how a little-known provision in the law allows family foundations to be treated as tax transparent instead.

We cover:

• The difference between regular and family foundations under UAE law
• How to make your foundation and its subsidiaries tax transparent
• Why old offshore structures no longer work under the new tax regime
• How families with legacy BVI, Cayman, or Nevis structures can restructure to eliminate UAE corporate tax

If you’re an advisor, family office, or HNWI with UAE assets or structures, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.

In this episode of Wealth Uncensored, Jimmy Sexton dives into a topic too many wealthy families overlook: the burdenthat wealth can place on the next generation. While trusts, foundations, and tax planning often focus on preserving assets, few consider the unintended consequences of passing wealth outright to heirs. From crippling tax exposure and reporting obligations to threats from lawsuits and divorce, inherited wealth can restrict the freedom of the very people it’s meant to empower. Jimmy talks about how proper structuring using trusts, foundations, and sound governance can liberate future generations instead of chaining them to compliance, tax bills, and risk. If you want your legacy to be a gift, not a liability, this episode is a must-listen.
