Expat Tax Advice UK: Specialist Guidance for Expats and Non-Residents

Managing your UK tax position as an expatriate can be complex, especially with recent changes to UK residency tax rules and the introduction of new regimes. Our team provides expert expat tax advice UK, ensuring you remain compliant and tax-efficient wherever you live or work.

Key UK Expat Tax Considerations

Foreign Income and Gains Rules: From 6 April 2025, the new Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime applies. Optimising these rules is crucial for expats to ensure tax efficiency and compliance.
Overseas Workday Relief: If you meet specific criteria, you could benefit from overseas workday relief, allowing certain foreign workdays to be exempt from UK tax during your first four years of UK residence.
Detached Duty Relief: Expats seconded to the UK may qualify for detached duty relief, providing tax relief on travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs during your assignment.
UK Residency Tax Rules: Your tax liability depends on your UK residency status. Non-residents are generally taxed only on UK-sourced income, while residents are taxed on worldwide income. Understanding the Statutory Residence Test is essential for determining your position.
Non-Resident Tax UK: If you are not permanently based in the UK, you may qualify as a non-resident and only pay non resident tax UK on UK earnings, which can be valuable for those employed by UK companies but spending significant time overseas.
Double Tax Relief UK: If you have overseas income, such as from foreign property or employment, it’s vital to claim double tax relief UK to avoid being taxed twice, in line with relevant tax treaties.
Dual Residency and Tax Treaties: If you are resident in both the UK and another country with a Double Taxation Agreement, you may be able to claim treaty relief and restrict UK tax to UK-source income.
Tax Efficient Investments: Expats investing in UK companies may benefit from tax-efficient investment options that reduce your tax bill and potentially exempt you from capital gains tax on disposal.
Entrepreneur’s Relief: If you dispose of a stake in an overseas business, you may qualify for a reduced capital gains tax rate, subject to certain conditions.
