Understanding Remittance-Based Tax

Remittance-Based Tax in the UK is a tax regime applicable to non-domiciled individuals who are tax residents in the UK. Under this system, individuals are only taxed on income and gains that are brought into or “remitted” to the UK. Any foreign income or gains that are not remitted to the UK remain untaxed.

This tax system can be complex, with rules and exemptions that vary depending on individual circumstances. HHM Chartered Accountants are here to guide and advise you through all questions and queries.

Remittance Based Tax

Remittance Basis Tax Explained

Remittance-Based Tax, often referred to as the “remittance basis,” is a unique tax system in the UK that affects non-domiciled individuals who are tax residents in the country.

Non-domiciled individuals have the option to be taxed either on their worldwide income or on a remittance basis. Under the remittance basis, individuals are only taxed on income and gains that they bring into or “remit” to the UK.

This tax system is particularly beneficial for individuals with substantial foreign income and gains that they do not wish to bring into the UK. However, it comes with its own set of rules and complexities. Non-domiciled individuals must carefully plan their finances to ensure they are compliant with remittance-based tax regulations while taking full advantage of available exemptions and reliefs.

HHM specialises in providing expert guidance and assistance to non-domiciled individuals navigating the intricacies of remittance-based tax. Our team can help you understand the rules, minimise your tax liability, and ensure compliance with HMRC regulations.
