UK personal tax allowances - part year
Suppose I emigrate in June, do I get my full UK personal allowances (income AND capital gains) or does it get pro-rated to the proportion of the year I was in UK?

As far as I am aware, the U.K. does not pro-rate the personal allowance if you leave the U.K. mid year. However, if this is going to influence your decision, you should take personal tax advice rather than rely on an online forum.

Thanks. I read all that stuff before I posted. Couldn't find anything on that specific point, that's why I thought someone here might have direct experience.
