How non-resident tax returns work
If you've moved abroad but still earn income in the UK, perhaps from a rental property, freelance work or investments, you're required to file a Self Assessment tax return with HMRC. We take care of the entire process for you. You share your details and documents with us, we prepare your return, perform all the necessary calculations, and submit everything to HMRC on your behalf.
The process is straightforward. You'll send us your income records, proof of non-residency status, and any relevant documents like rental statements or details of asset sales. We review everything, prepare your Self Assessment form, calculate your liability (or identify any refund due), and file it before the deadline. Most returns are completed within a few weeks, depending on complexity.
We handle the HMRC side of things so you can focus on your new life abroad.
More information
Many expats worry about missing deadlines or getting their tax position wrong, especially when they're in a different time zone. That's exactly why we're here. We'll keep track of your filing dates, answer questions in plain English, and make sure you're only paying what you actually owe. If HMRC have queries after submission, we'll deal with those too.
Our clients include UK citizens working overseas, retirees who've relocated but kept a rental property back home, and anyone with ongoing financial ties to the UK. We've worked with expats in Europe, the Middle East, Australia and beyond. Even though you might be thousands of miles away, we make the process as simple as if you were based here in Cardiff.
