TAX SAVING STRATEGIES WE ADVISE ON

Our expert tax planning can help you reduce or legally eliminate UK tax exposure using a variety of advanced strategies, including:

Disregarded Income Rules

Allows certain UK income to be ignored for UK tax purposes once you're non-resident.
Foreign Income Gains (FIG) Scheme (for UK arrivers)

Helps new or returning residents exempt foreign incomes using the FIG scheme.
Split Year Treatment

Claim part-year residency so you're only taxed in the UK for the part of the year you lived there.
Temporary Repatriation Facility

For non-doms to remit historic incomes and gains to the UK for a flat tax rate.
Capital Gains Planning

Sell assets while non-resident to potentially avoid UK CGT (subject to rules and timing).
CROSS-BORDER
