For over six months, I have been looking for an accountant who is not only professional but also responsible and conscientious. I met many people, and unfortunately, most of them were more focused on securing an annual contract with me without providing sufficient explanations. Even in cases where I lacked information, they failed to provide me with enough details. Their response was often, 'You didn't ask us about these matters' or 'You didn't want to know.' Well, if I were an accountant, I didn't need you, then why would I ask? Fortunately, I stumbled upon Daniel quite accidentally, and I am very happy about it. I thank him immensely. He explained everything to me in a very organised and professional manner, and even pointed out things that I hadn't considered. I realised that he really loves his job. For him, this profession is not just a source of income; it is a part of his personality and life. This means that I am the winner for finding him. Thank you, Dear Daniel, and I recommend to all that if you need a genuine accountant, be sure to meet with him at least once. I am confident that you will not be disappointed. Thank you again, and I wish you continued success.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Gurdeep K2024-03-26I engaged with Daniel & Karam for tax advice, I received good and direct advice that didn't beat around the bush.

Double taxation relief allows UK residents to avoid being taxed twice on the same income, typically through Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) with other countries.
Yes, if you’re a UK resident, you are required to declare foreign income to HMRC. This includes any income earned outside the UK, such as salary, rental income, dividends, or interest from foreign sources.
If you are a UK resident but non-domiciled, you do not pay UK tax on your foreign income or gains if they’re less than £2,000 in the tax year and you don’t bring them to the UK.
UK residents are taxed on their income worldwide. The foreign income is generally subject to the same tax rules as income from within the UK. Meaning UK residents must report their global income on a Self Assessment tax return.
