What 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:-
- For whom you are working at present and, in which country.
- The approximate date you commenced foreign employment, the length of your overseas contract and pattern of visits to the U.K.
- 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.
- Whether or not you regard yourself as having worked in continuous full-time overseas employment or whether there may have been gaps between contracts.
- A completed schedule of UK arrivals and departures since commencing overseas employment. This can be downloaded from the forms section of this site.
- Payment of a standard appraisal fee, currently £135 + VAT @ 20% totalling £162.00. Credit for this amount will be given against the standard fee on our appointment as your personal income tax agent.
"I was totally confused with advice ( most of it illegal ) given by my colleagues in the UAE but as they had worked abroad for many years I foolishly listened. At times it was like Chinese whispers so as I had heard so many different interpretations of the rules/regulations for tax free status I decided to take specialist tax advice. I contacted Ex-Pat Tax and hey presto a few months later I received a tax refund and now get HMRC's annual agreement that my foreign earnings are tax free in the UK."

"The Tax Man found me through my offshore bank account ( Amnesty ) and as I believed I was tax exempt in the UK I didn't bother with the Amnesty. Big mistake because HMRC, over one year later, sent me a barrow load of forms to fill in and hinted that I could be liable to UK tax, penalties, interest and cruel surcharges on not only my bank interest but also my foreign earnings paid into the offshore account. I gave everything possible to HMRC who then basically put me through hell and despite my contacting a few local accountants they either didn’t have the specialist knowledge necessary or basically said they couldn’t help. Google delivered me to the door of Ex-Pat Tax and in a relatively short period of time they filed declarations and tax returns etc for all years to basically deliver a clean sheet with not one penny to pay. I didn't get an apology from HMRC but then again my nest egg is still intact thanks to Ex-Pat Tax."

"Now planning my retirement and return to the UK after 15 years working abroad, safe in the knowledge that my tax returns are all up to date with no UK tax paid for all years abroad. With the assistance of Ex-Pat Tax this will continue to be the case up to my date of return. No problems regarding lump sum transfers into the UK on my return as HMRC are satisfied that my earnings accumulated offshore were/are tax exempt – not all of my workmates who are also nearing retirement can say this and many are dreading attention from HMRC when they return and start to draw UK pensions."
