Tax Advice For Britons Working Abroad

What’s Next?

As personal income tax agents for many thousands of Britons who have worked abroad over recent years, we take considerable pride from the fact that we have negotiated tax free status for client’s in an extremely high percentage of cases.

To turn your “taxable” earnings in to tax free cash which you can spend, you have to fulfil all of the highly specific requirements of U.K. income tax law on foreign income, at the right time and in the right way. In other words, you either have to know these requirements in detail yourself, or take advice from someone who does – before it’s too late. At Ex-Pat Tax Consultants, we have more than 100 years of cumulative tax experience, much of it working specifically with expatriate taxation. Our role is to act as personal income tax agents for you, to advise you in minimising or negating any UK tax liabilities and, to negotiate confidentially on your behalf with HMRC.

Should you wish to appoint us as your personal income tax agents, please complete the confidential fact-find, 64-8 (HMRC authority form) and provide the information at boxes 1 – 5 below together with payment of 1 years’ fee in accordance with the fee scales shown on this site.

Alternatively, if you are still a little unsure and require a specific appraisal first, please contact us by email, fax, post or telephone and let us have the following:-

  1. For whom you are working at present and, in which country.
  2. The approximate date you commenced foreign employment, the length of your overseas contract and pattern of visits to the U.K.
  3. Whether or not any tax is paid on your foreign earnings either in the country in which you are working or, in the U.K.
  4. Whether or not you regard yourself as having worked in continuous full-time overseas employment or whether there may have been gaps between contracts.
  5. A completed schedule of UK arrivals and departures since commencing overseas employment. This can be downloaded from the forms section of this site.
  6. Payment of a standard appraisal fee, currently £135.00 + VAT @17.5% totalling £158.63.  Credit for this amount will be given against the standard fee on our appointment as your personal income tax agent.
