Overseas Tax

Deciding whether you are liable to tax in the UK can be a complex matter and is linked to an individuals residence and domicile status.

The concept of residence in the UK for tax purposes determines to what extent an individual is liable to UK tax on their income.  Where an individual is UK resident for tax purposes they are taxed on an income arising elsewhere in the world but where a non residence status can be maintained the interaction between the UK tax system and the country of residence requires careful consideration. 

An individual's domicile status can also affect exposure to tax in the UK and the interaction with worldwide income.  Rules and legislation in this respect is constantly changing and case law which underpins and supports this complex area.
