Tax Advice For Britons Working Abroad

Who are Ex-Pat Tax Consultants

Ex-Pat Tax Consultants was formed in July 1982 as a partnership specifically to deal with the income tax affairs of a select number of Britons working in full-time employment overseas. Such individuals, who because of accommodation retained in the U.K., were obliged by law to report to HM Revenue and Customs and hopefully attain tax-free status in respect of foreign earnings. Whilst the partnership did not actively advertise its services, due to client recommendation, the reputation grew. Consequently, the select client bank grew annually until such time that the partnership was obliged to increase staff and move into more spacious business accommodation. In February 1990 the partnership had grown sufficiently to warrant limited company status.

Whilst the client bank continues to grow annually, the company is now able to accept clients from other advertising avenues and still retain the “personal touch”, on which the company has prided itself since July 1982. Having kept up to date with advances in technology, we can now service the needs of any Briton working abroad who retains accommodation in the U.K. without actually meeting “face to face”. It is in fact true to say that we have not met up to 75 % of our clients, but this has not prevented us representing them successfully and obtaining the much desired tax-free status in respect of foreign earnings etc.

All of our Income Tax Consultants are former HMRC officers and thus have first hand knowledge of the workings of HMRC.

Because of constant changes to legislation directly governing the tax affairs of Britons working abroad, the number of concerned ex-pats has grown. Consequently, the client bank continues to grow at a very healthy rate but despite this, the company will continue to give what we feel is an unrivalled professional and personal service, at an annual cost that is more than reasonable.

Customer review



"I was in deep deep trouble with HMRC relevant to my foreign employment and had estimated tax bills exceeding £40K and was being threatened with 'proceedings'. Ex-Pat tax may have taken 6 months to get HMRC's agreement as to my tax free status but ALL bills/penalties etc were cancelled and I haven't paid tax since."

"Ex-Pat Tax were recommended by a workmate and whilst HMRC hadn't got hold of me at that time we made a pre-emptive strike (not initially welcomed by HMRC) and declared my full position from day 1 of foreign employment. HMRC were not cooperative and requested sight of everything including the kitchen sink to prove my tax exempt status but eventually Ex-Pat were able to extract HMRC's agreement that I had no tax to pay so had a clean bill of health for my 5 years of foreign employment. I intend, with Ex-Pat tax's assistance to remain tax exempt up to my retirement."

Customer review

"My employers actually recommended me to Ex-Pat tax and it was the best advice they could have given me. I don't get a great deal of annual leave but when I am on leave in the UK with my family I don't want to spend valuable time fighting with the tax man. Ex-Pat Tax look after everything tax wise, keep me on the straight and narrow regarding time allowed in the UK and of course file my annual tax returns/statements of tax free status. Whilst I don't walk around at work with a smug grin on my face, my workmates often have a haunted look on their faces when they hear of HMRC's renewed interest in Britons working abroad especially when a brown envelope drops through their front door."
