INTERNATIONAL & EXPAT TAX

Friendly, expert UK tax advice for non-residents and expats — from anywhere in the world

Living abroad rarely means your UK tax obligations disappear. At TaxDigit, chartered certified accountants in Guildford, Surrey, we take the time to understand your residence position, your income sources and your goals, then handle your UK filing from start to finish so you keep more of what you earn and never miss an HMRC deadline.

Whether you are a British expat, a foreign national with UK income, or moving to or from the UK, we manage the detail — residence, double taxation and the new Foreign Income and Gains regime — while actively looking for legitimate ways to reduce what you owe, this year and for years to come.

The problems we solve for you

Most non-residents overpay UK tax simply because no one is checking the reliefs and treaties on their behalf. We change that.

• Overpaying UK tax — we claim every allowance, relief and treaty benefit you are entitled to.
• Residence uncertainty — we apply the Statutory Residence Test so you know exactly where you stand.
• Double taxation — we use the right agreement so the same income is never taxed twice.
• HMRC deadlines from abroad — accurate non-resident returns, prepared and filed on time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to file a UK tax return if I live abroad?

Often, yes — UK rental income, UK employment or investment income, or gains on UK property can all create a filing obligation even when you are non-resident. We confirm your position and handle the return for you.

Can I still claim the UK Personal Allowance as a non-resident?

In many cases yes, depending on your nationality, residence and any double taxation agreement. We check your eligibility and claim it where available.

What is the FIG regime and does it affect me?

From 6 April 2025 the UK replaced the old non-dom and remittance basis with the Foreign Income and Gains regime. If you recently became UK resident after a long period abroad, you may qualify for up to four years of relief. We assess whether it applies to you.
