01
Your UK tax position
You may benefit from expat tax advice if you are: • Moving abroad • Returning to the UK • UK income or assets • Managing overseas assets or investments • Selling UK property while living overseas • Planning a retirement abroad Seeking advice early can help ensure your plans support both your immediate priorities and long-term objectives.
02
International tax planning
International tax planning is about more than meeting reporting obligations. Moving country can affect: • Income Tax • Capital Gains Tax • Inheritance Tax • Succession planning • Retirement planning • Investment strategies Our specialists can help you understand how international tax considerations fit within your broader financial plans, providing joined-up advice that supports your long-term goals.
From April 2025, changes to UK tax legislation mean that exposure to UK Inheritance Tax is more closely linked to an individual’s residence history than their domicile status.
This means the number of years you have been UK resident can have a significant impact on how your worldwide estate is treated for UK Inheritance Tax purposes.
As these rules can be complex, specialist advice is often essential when considering international moves, succession planning and long-term wealth preservation.
Your residence status is important because it affects how much Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax you pay in the UK. If you are a resident in the UK, you may even have to pay tax on your worldwide income.
However, if you are a UK non-resident you will generally only have to pay tax on any income that you earn in the UK (perhaps from renting your UK home).
Although a fairly uncommon situation, if you hold dual residency things may be even more complicated. It’s possible that the UK will hold a double tax treaty with your other country of residence which will reduce the likelihood of you having to pay tax in the UK and your overseas home country. Expert advice is essential here.
Even if you are not UK resident you can still be liable to pay UK tax. You must also be mindful of any taxes due where you are living overseas.
If you are non-UK resident it is not possible to submit online using HM Revenue systems, instead you must use one of the following options:
Complete a Self-Assessment Tax Return and a SA109 form (the residence pages for your Tax Return) to send by post. Submit using commercial self-assessment software which supports SA109 reporting. Hire a tax professional to report your UK income for you.
The UK are one of the countries which can tax their citizens living abroad if they are still classified as a resident. If you’re not a UK resident, you will not have to pay UK tax on your foreign income but your UK income generally remains taxable. If you sell any land and property in the UK that will remain taxable too.
