In addition to identifying the appropriate immigration route to come to the UK, you should also consider pre-arrival tax planning before your relocation. Here are our top 10 tax tips on moving to the UK:

  1. The UK has an odd tax year. It runs from 6 April to 5 April. Take tax advice well in advance – preferably before the previous 31 December.
  2. There are different immigration options. Check these carefully and make sure you have the right visa.
  3. Is there tax on leaving your previous country? Are there emigration formalities?
  4. You may need several bank accounts outside the UK. Liaise with your bank in good time.
  5. Do you have trusts, foundations or companies? These will need reviewing.
  6. Are you renting or buying a property? You need to consider funding and tax options.
  7. Review your business and employment arrangements.
  8. Arrange schools well in advance of September.
  9. Check your domicile and its implications – this is different to residence or immigration status.
  10. Have you previously been UK resident (including as a student)? There may be tax or other hangovers to consider.
