UK tax advice for people living in the USA
The UK side of residence, property, pensions and investment reporting for Americans and British expats in the US.
Short answer: Living in the USA does not remove UK filing duties. UK rental income, UK property sales, pensions, UK workdays and a return to Britain can each create UK tax work. Aoline focuses on the UK analysis and coordinates with your US CPA or enrolled agent where the same income needs to be reported twice.
Key points
- Map both countries’ tax years and residence tests.
- Report UK property income and disposals on time.
- Coordinate treaty relief with your US adviser.
- Keep the UK and US workstreams clearly separated.
Typical US-to-UK questions
Clients often need help with a UK rental property, a move back to Britain, UK pensions, a property sale or investments held before and after a move. The correct answer starts with the UK facts and the US filing position already being prepared.
A coordinated hand-off
Aoline can prepare the UK analysis and a concise hand-off pack for your US adviser. This avoids two advisers making incompatible assumptions about residence, source or timing.
