The bits no one warns you about

Cross-border tax is where mistakes get expensive. Get your residency wrong, miss double-tax relief, or mishandle UK rental or gains, and you can overpay badly — or fall foul of HMRC.

Generalist accountants rarely deal with the Statutory Residence Test, treaties or non-resident rules, leaving expats unsure and exposed.

  • Working out your UK residence status (the SRT)
  • Being taxed twice without double-tax relief
  • UK rental income while you live abroad
  • Capital Gains Tax on UK property as a non-resident
  • The rules when you leave or return to the UK
  • A general accountant who doesn’t do cross-border tax
How we help

Everything handled, under one roof

Moving abroad, working overseas or coming to the UK throws up tax questions most accountants rarely face: your residence status under the Statutory Residence Test, double-taxation relief, and how your UK income, property and gains are taxed while you’re non-resident.

We specialise in expat and non-resident UK tax. We work out your residency, claim the reliefs and treaty benefits you’re due, and handle your UK Self Assessment — so you’re compliant in the UK without paying twice.

The honest answers to what you’re thinking

How much does an expat tax accountant cost?

UK expat tax support typically runs from around £150 to £300 a month for ongoing help, though many clients just need an annual return. We agree a fixed fee up front for exactly what you need.

Will I be taxed twice on the same income?

Not if it’s handled correctly. Double-tax treaties and relief mean you generally shouldn’t pay tax twice — we make sure the relief is claimed so you don’t.

How do I know if I’m UK-resident?

It’s determined by the Statutory Residence Test, which looks at days in the UK and your ties here. We assess your position so you’re certain, not guessing.

I’m a non-resident landlord — can you help?

Yes. We handle the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, your UK rental return, and any CGT when you sell UK property.

FAQ

Expats & non-residents: your questions answered

Do expats and non-residents need a UK accountant?
If you have UK income, property or gains, or you’re unsure of your residence status, yes — cross-border tax is complex and the cost of mistakes (or paying twice) is high. A specialist usually saves more than the fee.
How is my UK residence status decided?
By the Statutory Residence Test, which considers how many days you spend in the UK and your connections here. We assess your position so you have certainty.
Will I pay tax twice if I live abroad?
Generally no, provided double-tax relief and any treaty between the UK and your country are applied correctly. We make sure they are.
Do you handle UK rental income for non-residents?
Yes — including the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme and your UK tax return, plus any Capital Gains Tax when you sell UK property.
Can you help wherever I live in the world?
Yes — we’re fully online and work with UK expats and non-residents across the globe.
