Non-Resident Tax Planning with Aston Shaw

The tax rules and regulations regarding residency, non-residency and domicile change regularly and we would always advise clients to speak with us about any changes to your residency status or have any queries about how this may impact your personal tax requirements. We can advise on tax planning and compliance for the following:

If you are a UK resident going abroad, we can support you with everything from your departure from the UK, to advice on income tax on earnings and investments, through to your re-entry into the UK.

If you’re an overseas national coming over to the UK, we can help you to ensure you are in the best financial position by providing advice on establishing your UK tax status, income tax on earnings and investments as well as providing recommendations on where to hold UK assets.

Tax Planning for Non-Resident Landlords

Whether you own a property abroad as a lifestyle choice or as an investment to generate income, it’s important to understand your tax liability. Factors such as the location of the property, the duration of rental periods and your own place of residence can all have an impact.

Our team will work with you to ensure you are not paying more tax than required.

Domicile Tax Status

In certain circumstances, a change of domicile can bring tax benefits, however it’s important to carefully consider the implications of this change from a tax point of view before going ahead.

FAQs on Non-resident Tax Planning

When are you non-resident for UK tax purposes?

The UK government states that you are usually non-resident if either:

you spent fewer than 16 days in the UK (or 46 days if you have not been a UK resident for the 3 previous tax years)
you worked abroad full-time (averaging at least 35 hours a week), and spent fewer than 91 days in the UK, of which no more than 30 were spent working

If you are unsure of your tax status, you can use the government’s residence status checker. This will give you an indication of whether you were a UK resident in any tax year from 6 April 2016.
