UK Tax Returns

[RDN]

For those of you UK expats who have forgotten, it's probably too late to do your tax return online if you haven't already registered.

For those who can remember their ID and password, you can still do it here:

I thought tax what what you paid in expensive restaurants?

Have you filed your tacks return yet?

We would like to remind our readers that all unused tacks purchased at your local Office Stationery Dept during the fiscal year 2006 have to be returned to the federal government by 12:00am tonight, preferably in an amply padded envelope. Persons setting up extended noticeboards tomorrow may ask for a tacks credit and keep up to 50 tacks before the Stationery stores reopen.

Further reminder that US tacks need not be returned until mid-April with an automatic 60 day extension for those residing overseas.

Another reminder that UK Tax is a club you can resign from by leaving the country Unlike certain other countries who believe they have you by the balls untill the day you die.

Sounds like I joined the wrong club....

I very much doubt this will remain the case in my lifetime...

Well only if you dont owe any when you leave (and get all your assets out). Only remaining one that will affect me at some point in the future is inheritance tax

The only asset I couldn't get out was my pension money, and there are strict rules about what you can do with it.

But last year they gave me back all the tax they'd deducted over the previous few years, so I was hoping they wouldn't bother asking me to fill in the form again. I wonder if they ever will...

^ I know. I was more thinking about being on the receiving end of an inheritence from the UK though.

Me too, but I don't know what the situation is. I've also got some share options worth quite a lot which I would prefer to receive gross...

I think I'm still registered as a resident but earning under the taxable limit.

Should I file register as a expat as I am out of the country more than 186 days a year?

If I take this position in Korea my pension contributions count towards my NI contributions in the UK.

How do i declare this? Should I declare this and should I start paying NI contributions myself anyway.

Any idea what a residence certificate is? If I have one I get to be tax free for 2 years in Korea.

Now if anyone would like to file an income tax return in Germany...

I think I'm still registered as a resident but earning under the taxable limit.

I'm under the tax limits too, and registered as "domiciled but not normally resident" (?). I think , although I can't find in the Tax Return pdf file where they asked that question. I'm sure they asked it somewhere. Or maybe I filled it in, in another form - the "Leaving the UK" form.

I don't know how it would affect you - I don't think it affects my very simple tax situation. IR20 - Residents and non-residents is what you need:



You can get it and stuff about double-taxation here.

Sorry, no idea - you need to talk to a financial adviser/tax adviser.

Hmm... interesting:

What if I have lived abroad?

If you are not resident, not ordinarily resident or not domiciled in the United Kingdom, there are special rules for determining what gains are chargeable to CGT. If you think these rules might apply to you, read leaflet IR20 Residents and non-residents. Liability to tax in the United Kingdom.

There are also special rules if you are temporarily non-resident. See Help Sheet IR278: Temporary non-residents and Capital Gains Tax (PDF 56K).

May be the way to avoid - not evade - capital gains tax...
