UK Tax Planning Advice For Expats

Despite having global tax obligations, internationally mobile individuals often have the opportunity to streamline their tax affairs by managing their whereabouts and sources of income.

At Expat Tax Solutions, we provide UK tax planning advice for expats to optimise your tax position and minimise your liability.

Strategic Solutions Tailored To You

Income Structuring

The nature, source and timing of income all play a part in how it is taxed in the UK. By managing your residence position and where you perform your duties, you can reduce your UK tax burden.

Capital Gains Planning

UK non-residents are only subject to UK capital gains tax on their UK property gains. Moving abroad can therefore significantly reduce your tax burden.

Residence and Domicile

Breaking UK tax residence will limit the UK’s scope to tax you to only your UK sourced income and UK property gains. Find out how to do this correctly and efficiently.

Temporary Non-Residence

Be mindful of the Temporary Non-Residence rules which may bring certain income and gains into the scope of UK tax if you resume residence within 5 years.

FIG Regime

Utilise the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime to exempt your non-UK sourced income and gains from UK tax. Know the advantages, disadvantages, and deadline for claiming.

Double Tax Relief

The UK has one of the largest networks of Double Taxation Agreements. These can be used to exempt income from UK tax or claim foreign tax credits to reduce your liability.

I came to Jacob needing clarity on my UK tax residence position for 2026-27, and the experience was first class. He prepared a detailed advisory memo that walked me through my residence analysis step by step, and what really stood out was how clearly everything was explained. Tax residence rules can feel daunting, especially as somebody with not much knowledge in this area, but Jacob made the reasoning easy to follow. His communication was prompt and professional throughout. He took the time to understand my specific circumstances, set out realistic expectations, and produced written advice that was thorough, well-structured, and genuinely actionable. I never had to chase him for anything. I felt completely confident that my situation was in capable hands. If you're an expat or anyone dealing with a UK tax residence question, I'd recommend Expat Tax Solutions without hesitation. Thanks, Jacob!

" I had an excellent experience working with Jacob and would highly recommend his services. What impressed me most was the speed of his communication, both by email and over the phone. He was always prompt, transparent, and clear in his advice. His knowledge and experience, particularly regarding double tax treaties and foreign income disclosures, gave me great confidence that my case was in capable hands. Overall, his expertise, professionalism, and excellent communication made what was a very stressful situation much easier to manage. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy, and effective tax advisor. "

" Jacob is fast, structured, and deterministic. He responds quickly, gives clear and definitive answers where the law allows, and doesn't hide behind vague replies. He knew the expat and non-resident space cold — no need to "look into it later." The written advisory memo was clear and actionable, and the tax return was prepared and filed efficiently with minimal back-and-forth. If you're a non-resident, digital nomad, or expat dealing with a complex tax situation, I'd strongly recommend Jacob. He's exactly the kind of advisor you want in your corner. "

" I needed to navigate UK tax and do a self-assessment for the first time after moving abroad mid-way through the tax year. He gave me better guidance (preventing me from making mistakes), and from there, the process was simple as can be. Jacob's knowledge and manner were incredibly reassuring. I would absolutely recommend Expat Solutions. "

Frequently Asked Questions

How important is UK tax planning advice for expats?

If you are moving abroad or coming to the UK, tax planning advice is essential to ensure that you are fully aware of the rules governing your taxability in order to optimise your tax position and be compliant.

When should I have my UK tax planning call?

We recommend having the call as early as possible and prior to your move if possible. Due to the prescribed day counters under teh Statutory Residence Test, it may be possible that you have already exceeded the limits of UK time after your move and so advice should be obtained as soon as possible.

Can leaving the UK save me tax?

Possibly. The UK is one of the higher global tax jurisdictions and so exiting the UK tax system correctly and ceasing to be liable to UK tax can result in a significant tax saving.

Can you also help with my HMRC submissions?

Yes. We offer UK self-assessment tax return, capital gains tax return and historic disclosure preparation and submission services.

Can you help if I live overseas?

Yes. We specialise in supporting expats and globally mobile individuals with planning their UK tax affairs to improve efficiency and ensure compliance.
