Leaving Britain

Leaving the UK: tax advice before you move

UK tax advice for leaving the UK: check residence dates, claim P85 tax refunds, and protect your property and savings.

In brief

Moving abroad does not stop UK tax on its own. Your visit days, home, work, and family ties all matter. Matthew checks your exact dates so you leave Britain cleanly and do not pay extra tax.

Do not assume moving abroad ends UK tax automatically — or that every tax year can be split.

What I check before departure

  • Your Statutory Residence Test position and safe UK visit day limits
  • Whether you can split the tax year when you leave (Cases 1, 2, or 3)
  • Form P85 tax refund claims if you overpaid PAYE tax when you left work
  • UK exit tax rules, capital gains timing, and the 5-year temporary non-residence rule
  • UK property, company directorships, pensions, and overseas income
  • Your Self Assessment tax return and SA109 non-resident pages
