Work with expat tax advisers who simplify complex UK residency rules and help you pay only what you legally owe
When your life is split between two countries, it’s common to feel a bit lost in the system – especially when trying to figure out where you stand in terms of tax obligations.
Personalised tax advice goes a long way. With an expert in your corner, you can stop second-guessing your residency status and start feeling confident that you’re staying compliant with UK tax laws without overpaying.
The 2025 tax year marked the most significant overhaul of UK tax residency and domicile laws in over 200 years. As of April 6, 2025, the government officially abolished the “non-dom” status and moved to a system based strictly on how long you’ve lived in the UK.
The old remittance basis of taxation is gone. Previously, non-doms could choose to only pay UK tax on foreign income if they brought that money into the UK.
The New Standard: All UK residents are now generally taxed on their worldwide income and gains as they arise, regardless of where the money is kept.
But to keep the UK attractive for global talent, a new Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) regime was introduced with significant tax advantages for new residents who’ve been non-UK tax residents for the previous 10 consecutive years.
An experienced UK tax expert can assess your situation using the Statutory Residence Test. This process looks back over the past three years and considers key factors like time spent in the UK and personal ties.
In straightforward cases, your status may be confirmed during your consultation. In more complex situations, your expert can prepare a full written analysis to make sure everything is by the book.
Either way, you’ll get clear answers, stay compliant, and never pay more tax than you absolutely must.

In these situations, double taxation agreements usually decide which country has taxing rights.
Many expats still need to file depending on residency status, UK income, or overseas assets. A tax expert can confirm your filing obligations.
The Foreign Income and Gains (FIG) Regime is a tax break for people moving to the UK that came into effect after 6 April, 2025.
It allows qualifying new residents to avoid UK tax on their foreign income and overseas gains for the first four years of UK residency
Note: UK income is still taxed as normal, but eligible overseas earnings and investments can remain tax-free in the UK during this period.
You may be eligible for the FIG regime if you:
Some returning residents may also qualify if they lived outside the UK for at least 10 years and are still within their first four years of UK residency as of April 2025.
Simple cases can usually be reviewed during a consultation. But complex situations usually need a written analysis and may take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to wrap up.
