Overview
- New filings for Sparta Promotions Limited and 258 Investments Limited record Joshua’s country of residence as the United Arab Emirates, with reports stating he is moving to Dubai.
- The move proceeds during ongoing attacks on the UAE, with reports describing thousands of Britons — in some accounts over 100,000 — seeking to leave and some paying up to £100,000 for private evacuations.
- Coverage frames the relocation as financially driven, noting Dubai’s absence of income tax and Joshua’s recent dividends of £10.1 million in 2024 and £6.3 million in 2023 that would attract UK tax if he remained resident.
- Accounts cited in the reports say Sparta Promotions made £20.396 million profit and paid £6.65 million in UK tax in 2024, with Joshua’s business empire valued at about £150 million.
- Reports highlight Joshua’s longstanding Gulf ties, including training and promotional visits to Dubai and a £1.2 million purchase of a 15,300‑sq‑ft penthouse in Oman, and set his move within a wider trend of wealthy Britons basing themselves overseas.
