Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about international tax and how our solicitors can help

International tax law governs taxation of cross-border income, assets, and transactions. You need specialist advice when: living or working abroad, having overseas income or assets, conducting international business, facing multiple jurisdiction tax obligations, or dealing with double taxation issues. Professional advice ensures compliance and prevents costly mistakes.

UK tax residents pay UK tax on worldwide income and gains, while non-residents typically pay UK tax only on UK source income. Residency is determined by the Statutory Residence Test considering days in UK, ties to UK, and circumstances. Professional advice helps optimise residency status and understand the implications for your tax planning.

Double tax treaties prevent the same income being taxed in two countries. They typically provide: reduced withholding tax rates, exemptions for certain types of income, tie-breaker rules for residency conflicts, and mutual agreement procedures for disputes. Professional advice ensures you claim appropriate treaty benefits and reliefs.

UK residents must declare worldwide income and gains to HMRC, including overseas assets. This includes foreign bank accounts, property, investments, and business interests. There are specific reporting requirements and penalties for non-disclosure. Professional advice ensures compliance with all disclosure obligations and optimises your tax position.

The remittance basis allows non-UK domiciled individuals to pay UK tax only on UK source income and foreign income/gains brought to the UK. From year 7 of UK residence, annual charges apply (£30,000-£60,000+). Professional advice helps determine if remittance basis is beneficial and how to structure your affairs optimally.

CFC rules prevent UK companies and individuals from avoiding UK tax by shifting profits to low-tax overseas companies they control. The rules can result in UK tax charges on overseas company profits. Professional advice helps understand CFC implications and structure international operations to minimise adverse consequences while ensuring compliance.

International tax planning for business expansion includes: choosing optimal corporate structures, utilising double tax treaties, managing transfer pricing compliance, planning for withholding taxes, considering permanent establishment issues, and structuring repatriation of profits. Professional planning ensures tax-efficient expansion while maintaining compliance in all jurisdictions.
