INTERNATIONAL TAX ADVICE FOR INDIVIDUALS & FAMILIES

Moving to or leaving the UK raises complex questions around tax residency, dual‑taxation exposure, and how treaty provisions allocate taxing rights. I advise on UK residency under domestic law, review cross‑border income and gains, and determine the availability of foreign tax credit claims — including eligibility for regimes such as the Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) rules and the Temporary Repatriation Facility (TRF). I can also help you structure your affairs ahead of a move, sale, or change in circumstances, ensuring your position is organised efficiently and in line with both UK rules and international tax principles.

Ongoing tax advice for individuals and families with interests in more than one country. Support can range from resolving a single complex question to acting as your dedicated tax adviser throughout the year, covering everything from annual compliance to one-off decisions around investments, property, or family wealth. I take the time to understand your full circumstances, not just the immediate issue, so that advice fits your broader circumstances and long-term plans, not just the issue in front of you today.

Cross‑border and remote working create tax, social security and payroll obligations that are often complex and easy to overlook. I help employers and individuals understand their UK and overseas exposure, manage UK PAYE requirements, and put in place an HMRC‑compliant structure for temporary assignments, remote‑working arrangements and overseas hires. Without the right advice, these situations can lead to unexpected costs, compliance issues and dual taxation. This service covers both your tax position and your payroll (PAYE) obligations.

I advise non‑resident individuals on the UK tax implications of buying, holding or selling UK property, including income tax, capital gains tax, SDLT surcharges and the impact of different ownership structures. Whether you are acquiring a single property or building a portfolio, I help you understand the tax position in advance and structure things correctly to avoid unexpected liabilities later.

Submitting an accurate UK tax return requires more than entering figures into HMRC’s system. It involves identifying all available reliefs, applying the correct treaty provisions, and making full and compliant disclosures - tasks that can be difficult to navigate without specialist support. I provide HMRC tax return compliance as a standalone service or as part of a wider advisory engagement, ensuring your UK filing obligations are met correctly and without stress.

For historic tax matters where filing deadlines have passed, HMRC offers separate disclosure routes; the Worldwide Disclosure Facility, the Let Property Campaign, or a direct approach to HMRC, depending on your circumstances. How many years need reporting also depends on your situation, and I'll advise you on the right approach.
