Entering The Uk
OCRA London is committed to providing UK immigration solutions
to businesses and individuals in a timely and courteous manner.
Leaving The Uk
Within the United Kingdom income tax, capital gains tax and inheritance
tax are based upon residence, ordinary residence and domicile and
it is generally the case that only by physically ceasing to be resident
in the UK that the liability to those taxes can truly be avoided.
However a UK tax
resident in considering leaving the UK he must remember that in
order, legally, to avoid capital gains tax he must remain outside
the UK for a minimum of five full tax years. Income tax can be avoided
by spending a full tax year outside the UK on a full time contract
of employment overseas but the contract must be carefully worded
to ensure that that individual is regarded by the Inland Revenue
as not continuing to be resident in the UK for income tax purposes.
By contrast UK inheritance tax is dependent upon an individual's
domicile and, therefore, an individual of UK domicile who has moved
to live abroad and who has, accordingly, ceased to be resident or
ordinarily resident in the UK will still be liable to UK inheritance
tax on his worldwide assets. Clearly double taxation treaties may
reduce that burden of tax but this is a question which must be very
carefully examined if an individual is planning to live abroad.
Planning techniques for those who intend, short term, to emigrate
from the UK for capital gains or income tax purposes are relatively
straight forward and the greatest attention to detail comes with
potential contracts of employment or sales of assets or businesses
in the UK.
