We got fed up being taxed to death and ripped off for everything in the 'YUK' over 20 years ago, so sold up everything in 2003 and moved to Cyprus for good. And still living the dream as 'YUK' tax exiles !
Seems like, if you set up a company and buy property and rent it out and only take dividends and live abroad you are exempt from taxes! Going to Oman has zero taxes anyway.
This is video is hands down the most clear one! You actually try to simplify what HMRC has on the website. I still dont fully understand it, as is it enough for me to just quit my employment before the end of july - with the split year example and then never come back more than 16 days to the uk? Also can I keep using my UK bank accounts? thank you
Hi Simon how are you doing. I been have been giving this subject a lot of thought over the year. I think you mentioned you have other videos but couldn’t seem to find them. Do you have a link please ? Thank you. Moe

I live in Bahrain but the tax man made me pay around 6% tax after they made me complete a double tax form, even though Bahrain is meant to be tax free. I have had 7, 17, 36 days on vacation in UK in last 3 years. I need advice but can't get it here in Bahrain. Any contacts would be appreciated.
Thank you for this insightful video. Have seen so many videos on this, and this by the far the most easiest to digest. I am not UK domiciled and also non UK resident. The only UK income that I will receive is dividends from a ltd company. Will I need to file a self assessment tax return ? I have no intention of ever visiting the UK.
If you are neither UK domicile or UK resident then there is no need to file a UK self-assessment tax return or pay UK tax on those dividends received. Thank you ever so much for the kind comment
How to pay from abroad from Lithuania (by the way I left UK in 2019 and I have 2000 fines) ??? Basically, I got fines for the years that I wasnt working in UK, because I was out for a year 2017, and then I left UK in 2019 but forgot to report to HMRC (I was self-employed) taht I am leaving.
Has anything important changed since this video was put out? I have started working online as a contractor for a couple of companies in America and for the first time have started to think about tax as I've never had a good income before. I only rent a place and can leave anytime, could work from anywhere and it makes me want to vomit calculating the tax I'm going to be due if I do nothing. I could easily set up a UK company and leave before July 6th, have the guys in America pay that and then go work for the company full time somewhere else (or multiple places) but it sounds too easy.
I’m working in China, but still earning money on the trading 212 app registered in the UK. I can’t buy shares in China. I guess I still need to pay capital gains tax?
f you're living in China and buying UK shares you generally won't have to pay UK Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on any profits you make from selling those shares. You would pay UK CGT if you were UK resident in certain circumstances
Simon, I am moving to Greece in July on a digital nomad visa. Does the working 35 hours on my own business fall under the same bracket? I’m super confused about how it impacts me with U.K. tax.
It depends on what you will be doing in your work. In any case moving to Greece and having a home there rather than the Uk would affect your tax residence status
Hi I just moved out of the U.K. on 22/10/23 which makes me fall in the 183 days in U.K. from April 2023. But I work a full time job abroad now well over 35 hrs a week. Will the split year treatment apply to me in the case 1 scenario?
Hi there! thank you for the video. Im a UK employee but ive been living and working abroad for more than 18 months (have not returned to the UK in between) Do i still pay tax on my salary to the UK?
Thanks for the video, definitely helped to clarify a few things! I’m going to move to the Cayman Islands for full time work in November. I will be employed there for at least a year (probably more). Can I still benefit from the split year treatment in this case? (I.e be taxed as a cayman resident from the moment I move there on my Cayman income)?
Hi there., what if you consider the employment bracket in general to be slave labour and you trade currencies for a living? If I want to move to the dominican republic, how do I reduce my tax burden to 0? I would be residing in the DR, visiting the uk from june-august every year, my transactions would be Bitcoin to stablecoin and stablecoin to bitcoin etc, I wouldnt be interacting with any british currency and I would sell stablecoins to pay for the D pesos I need for food and travel around the DR, i wouldnt get the split year because i wouldnt be working abroad? my exchange is binance, they are the ones paying me, located in the cayman islands
Hi Jacob, it sounds as though you need a text consultation to go through this level of detail. Sadly it is not something we can achieve on a UA-cam forum.
So, a limited company owner/director could leave the UK for an entire fiscal year and declare huge dividends (assuming that the company has sufficient revenue reserves and cash) and avoid paying UK Income Tax on it, so long as in the UK for fewer than sixteen days? Great! Sounds like an opportunity to travel the world so as not to stay for long in any single country abroad! That stated, it makes sense to go, for non-travel fans, to a country like Croatia where it will be happy to have such people.
I am certainly not going to get involved in pensions drawdown mixed in with the UK residency. We certainly will need to speak to a pension advisor on this complex subject. So sorry that I can’t be any more helpful 😥

If you are renting out your property, you will most certainly need to fill in an annual tax form and pay taxes on that Also sign up for the government gateway well in advance before you leave. This will allow you to check your National Insurance contributions or whether you owe taxes etc

In many countries the 183 days is erroneous. Just because you do/don’t spend six months in a country does not mean that your tax resident or tax resident. It really does depend on the situation and where the country feels that you are spending your most time. The idea of being a tax nomad is so misleading

You can do a tax return to see if you paid too much tax overall or wire to HMRC, which may take even longer

You are going to be taxed where ever you are based providing services. You also need to think about sales taxes/VAT

What tax rebate are you looking to claim?
I'm paying 300 pounds a month tax on my DWP pension plus my company pension.
As I'm not resident in UK maybe I could have a refund
@kenhughes1160 you should not need to pay UK income tax on your private pensions. You will pay UK income tax on your DWP pension..
@kenhughes1160 you should contact your private pension and ask them to pay you gross

Hi there! thank you for the video.
Im a UK employee but ive been living and working abroad for more than 18 months (have not returned to the UK in between)
