UK tax advice for people living in the USA
UK tax returns, rental property, pensions, and double-tax treaty coordination for US-based British expats and Americans.
Short answer: Living in the US while owning UK property, pensions, or investments means reporting to both HMRC and the IRS. Matthew manages your UK tax returns and coordinates directly with your US CPA so you claim double-tax relief and never pay tax twice.
Key points
- Dual filing: UK tax on UK-source income, and US tax on worldwide income.
- US-UK Double Taxation Treaty prevents paying tax twice on the same income.
- UK rental income and property sales require UK Self Assessment filings.
- Matthew prepares clean UK tax packs to hand directly to your US CPA.
Coordinating UK filings with your US CPA
The US and UK have different tax years (calendar year for the US vs 6 April to 5 April for the UK).
Matthew prepares your UK Self Assessment returns with exact exchange rates and foreign tax credits, making it easy for your US accountant to file Form 1116 or Form 2555 without confusion.
