When do expats need to submit a tax return in the UK?

All expats who are non-resident still need to do a UK tax return on their UK income.

Moveable income such as pensions, earnings or dividends they could be registered & taxed in your country of residence and therefore are not liable to UK tax.

However, immovable income such as property rental income, capital gains or employment contracts fixed in the UK mean you could have a liability to do a UK tax return.

As an expat, you can still take advantage of UK personal allowances & expenses to minimise your taxes in the UK.

Reasons to submit a UK tax return:

✅ If you’re asked too by HMRC

✅ If you earn more than £100k in the UK

✅ If you have any UK income earning more than £1000 a month

✅ If you have Personal Service Company (PSC) income

✅ If you make any capital gains

✅ If you have a government service pension (of a certain type)

✅ If you have rental Income
