Moving to the UK doesn’t necessarily mean high taxes. If you are eligible to use the FIG scheme, you can exempt foreign incomes and gains from UK taxation for up to four tax years.

UK RESIDENCY

HOW YOU'RE TAXED IN THE UK

The UK tax system follows a residence based approach meaning that if you are resident, you will be liable to UK taxation on worldwide incomes and gains. However, if you are eligible for the FIG scheme, you can exempt foreign incomes and gains from UK taxation for up to four years.
