How we can help you
We can assist you in all areas of international private client tax, including:
Tax residence
Your UK tax residence status affects how you are taxed in the UK. The Statutory Residence Test can help you assess your status. However, in many cases, certain areas of the test remain open to interpretation such as the definition of a UK workday. Our experts can advise you based on your personal circumstances. We can also assist with tax residence of trusts.
Non-UK domiciled individuals and the remittance basis
If you are a non-UK domiciled individual, we can advise you on accessing the remittance basis of taxation, so, your foreign income and foreign capital gains will be taxed only to the extent they are remitted to the UK. We can also work with you through the complexities of operating the remittance basis and practical aspects of claiming it. We have seen several amendments in this area and our experts take them into account while advising you.
Overseas ownership of UK property
Non-UK residents now have to comply with numerous changes to the taxation of UK residential and commercial property they hold. We make sure you are aware of what these changes mean for your tax position. In some cases, you might be subject to additional reporting requirements.
