Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the UK/US Double Tax Treaty protect against double taxation?

The UK/US Double Tax Treaty specifies which country has primary taxing rights over each income stream (e.g. pensions, real estate, employment). Double taxation is avoided by claiming Foreign Tax Credits (Form 1116 in the US or Foreign Tax Credit Relief on UK SA106).

How is UK rental property taxed for expats in the USA?

Rental profits are calculated and taxed under UK rules via form SA105, and simultaneously reported on US Form 1040 Schedule E. Any UK tax paid on rental income is claimed as a direct Foreign Tax Credit on your US return.

Are UK ISAs and SIPPs recognised by the IRS for US citizens or Green Card holders?

UK SIPPs and pension schemes receive protection under Article 18 of the UK/US tax treaty. However, ISAs are not recognised as tax-exempt by the IRS; underlying investments in an ISA may trigger US PFIC (Passive Foreign Investment Company) rules and Form 8621 reporting.
