Expert UK Tax Advisory Services for Individuals Moving to the UK
Moving to the United Kingdom presents many opportunities and challenges, especially when navigating the intricacies of UK tax laws. At Optimise Accountants, we specialise in providing comprehensive UK tax advisory services tailored specifically for individuals relocating to the UK. Whether you’re coming to the UK for work, study, investment, or to start a new life, our dedicated team of UK-qualified tax advisors ensures that your tax affairs are managed efficiently and compliantly.
Understanding UK Tax Residency
One of the fundamental aspects of our UK tax advisory services is helping individuals determine their tax residency status. Understanding whether you are considered a UK tax resident is crucial as it determines your liability to UK taxes on your worldwide income and gains. Our advisors meticulously assess your circumstances based on the UK Statutory Residence Test (SRT), considering the number of days spent in the UK, your ties to the country, and your intentions for staying in the UK.
Personal Tax Planning and Compliance
Once your UK tax residency status is established, we develop personalised tax planning strategies to optimise your tax position. We guide various aspects of personal taxation, including:
Income Tax: Structuring your income to minimise tax liabilities while ensuring compliance with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) regulations.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT): Advising on CGT when selling assets, property, or investments and exploring exemptions and reliefs available under UK tax laws.
Inheritance Tax (IHT): Planning to efficiently transfer wealth and assets to minimise inheritance tax liabilities for your beneficiaries.
Non-Domicile (Non-Dom) Taxation: Advising non-domiciled individuals on the remittance basis and the implications for their overseas income and gains.
Expatriate Tax Services
Our expatriate tax services ensure a smooth transition and compliance with UK tax obligations for individuals moving to the UK from overseas. We assist with:
Tax Returns: Preparation and filing of UK tax returns, including self-assessment tax returns for individuals with income from multiple sources.
Double Taxation Relief: Utilising double taxation agreements to prevent double taxation on income and gains arising in the UK and your country of origin.
Social Security Contributions: Understanding and managing National Insurance contributions for employees and self-employed individuals.
Relocation Support and Advisory
Beyond tax planning, our services extend to providing comprehensive relocation support and advisory to facilitate your move to the UK:
Visa and Immigration: Partnering with immigration specialists to navigate visa requirements and ensure compliance with UK immigration laws.
Banking and Financial Planning: Guidance on setting up UK bank accounts, managing foreign exchange, and structuring financial assets for tax efficiency.
Property Taxation: Advising the tax implications of UK property ownership and rental income.
