Frequently asked questions

How is UK tax residency determined?+

UK tax residency is determined by the Statutory Residence Test, which considers days in the UK, UK ties (e.g. family, accommodation, work), and other factors. This is complex and requires professional consideration.

What if I'm not UK resident but have UK assets?+

Non-UK residents can still be subject to UK inheritance tax on UK assets and may have UK tax on UK income. The position depends on your circumstances, domicile, and tax treaties. Professional advice is essential.

How do double tax treaties affect my situation?+

Treaties between the UK and other countries govern taxing rights and double tax relief. They can affect income, gains, and inheritance tax. Understanding the relevant treaties is important for international planning.

What is domicile and how does it affect tax?+

Domicile is a legal concept that can affect UK tax, especially inheritance tax. It can differ from residency. Professional advice is needed to understand your status and its implications.

What should I do if I'm moving to or from the UK?+

Moving to or from the UK has major tax and planning effects. Professional advice before, during, and after the move helps ensure proper planning and compliance.

How do I coordinate planning across multiple countries?+

Coordinating planning across countries requires understanding the rules in each place, relevant treaties, and how strategies interact. Specialist international tax and estate planning advice is typically needed.

When should I seek international tax advice?+

Advice is recommended if you spend significant time in the UK, have UK assets or income, are moving to or from the UK, or have connections in several countries. Early planning usually gives more options and better outcomes.
