Find the Best Expat & International Accountants in the UK
International tax is one of the most complex areas of UK taxation. Residence status, domicile status, the remittance basis, split-year treatment, double taxation agreements, overseas workday relief, the statutory residence test, and cross-border pension rules all interact in ways that can dramatically affect your tax bill. An expat tax specialist helps you determine your UK residence status, identify which income and gains are taxable in the UK, claim treaty relief where available, handle HMRC reporting obligations for non-residents, and plan moves in and out of the UK tax-efficiently.

Expat & International FAQs
How do I know if I am UK tax resident?
UK tax residence is determined by the Statutory Residence Test (SRT), which considers automatic overseas and UK tests, then sufficient ties. Key factors include the number of days spent in the UK, whether you have a UK home, UK work, UK family, or UK accommodation. The test is applied for each tax year independently.
What is the remittance basis?
Non-domiciled UK residents can choose to be taxed on the remittance basis, meaning they only pay UK tax on foreign income and gains that they bring (remit) to the UK. There is an annual charge of £30,000 (after 7 years of residence) or £60,000 (after 12 years). Recent reforms are changing this system from April 2025.
Do I still need to file a UK tax return if I live abroad?
Possibly. Non-residents still need to file UK returns if they have UK source income (rental property, UK employment, UK pensions, UK capital gains on property). Even if you do not need to file, it may be beneficial to file voluntarily to claim personal allowances or treaty benefits.
