WHO WE HELP?

NOMADS

Working remotely doesn’t necessarily mean you must continue paying UK taxes. If you are non-resident, overseas workdays are not taxable and thus, you may be due a repayment of UK tax from HMRC.

UK RESIDENCY

HOW YOU'RE TAXED IN THE UK

The UK tax system follows a residence based approach meaning that if you are non-resident, you will be liable to UK taxation on UK sourced incomes and UK property gains only.

HOW TO BECOME NON-RESIDENT

Your resident status is determined by the Statutory Resident Test (‘SRT’).



Once your personal circumstances and travel pattern satisfy a test, this will conclude your resident status for the tax year in question.



You’ll be considered non-resident in the UK, if you satisfy any of the following criteria:

Physical presence

if you spend no more than 15 midnights during a tax year.

Full time work abroad

if you are full time work overseas and minimise physical presence in the UK.

* Note that UK law recognises the concept of split year and as such, you can become non-resident within a tax year period upon leaving the UK.
