Residence
With the introduction of the Statutory Residence Test (“SRT”) in April 2013, it is now more important than ever to understand your residence status for UK taxation purposes and whether any of your actions are impacting the UK tax authority’s view without you even realising it.
As an individual, your tax residence status can affect the level of income tax and capital gains tax you pay and so is definitely worth getting right.
To avoid any unexpected liabilities arising in the future, it is vital that you assess your circumstances in respect of your tax residence status at regular intervals. But particularly in the years of departure and arrival, from and to (respectively) the UK.
At TaxGem™, we can review your circumstances and provide you with advice regarding your tax residence position and what action you can take to strengthen your case.
As part of the review we will prepare a report detailing your position and the evidence that has been obtained to support the conclusion. All evidence will be retained as appendices for ease of reference in the event of HMRC challenge.
The SRT is super complex, but our report contains easy to follow flowcharts for each of the three residence tests so you can see at a glance how each could apply.
We also provide a full run down of how your residency status will affect your tax position, and any potential future pitfalls you need to be aware of….
We got you… even if you are abandoning us for Dubai *eyeroll* !
We've got you!
