TAXATION ON FOREIGN INCOME

Understanding UK Taxation of Foreign Income

Foreign income taxation in the UK is a vital aspect of tax compliance for individuals and businesses with international financial interests. UK residents are generally subject to UK tax on their worldwide income, which includes income earned abroad. This income can encompass various sources, such as employment income, rental income, dividends, interest, and capital gains from overseas assets.

To navigate this complex landscape, individuals and businesses need to consider the applicable tax treaties between the UK and the country where the income is generated, as well as any exemptions or reliefs that may apply.

Double taxation agreements play a critical role in preventing the same income from being taxed in both the UK and the foreign jurisdiction.

HHM offers expert guidance and solutions to help individuals and businesses effectively manage their foreign income tax obligations. Our services include tax planning, compliance, and advice on claiming reliefs and exemptions available under tax treaties. We work closely with clients to optimise their foreign income tax position while ensuring full compliance with HMRC regulations.

Once you have resided in the UK for a period of 15 out of the last 20 tax years, you are deemed domiciled in the UK. This designation entails a legal obligation to declare and pay taxes on your global income and gains within the UK jurisdiction, regardless of your nationality. To navigate the intricacies of this tax status and ensure compliance, it’s advisable to seek personalised guidance from our expert tax advisors.
