Re: UK Income Tax
Whats happens to tax credits and payments to children under 16 - do they stop as well as you are no longer resident in the UK or do they continue.

Re: UK Income Tax
Does anyone know how long it should take the HMRC to make a decision on tax free status?
Apparently the technical team received mine on 13th May and have yet to send me any confirmation either way. I have tried calling but apparently the technical team doesn't take any calls.

I understand that they are months behind in processing info. If you are no longer in the Uk I presume you are receiving gross income, so providing you are eligible to register as non-resident here really shouldn't be a problem. If you hunt through HMRC site you'll find a section with email contacts, so you could try that.

Re: UK Income Tax
Hi everyone, i have been living abroad for the past 3 years (since dec 05) and planning to return to the UK March/April 2009. By that time, i would have been outside the Uk for 3years + and for 3 full fiscal years. However i am so confused whether the taxation of income earned outside the uk applies to a 3 year period or a 5 year period. I mean in order to be non-resident (and hence not to pay tax on offshore income), i have to be outside for 3yrs or 5 yrs??? i read the HMR&C website and it says clearly that non-resident - you need only to be outside 3yrs+, but here you are referring to 5yr rule???
Pls help. I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Re: UK Income Tax
I havent worked in the UK this tax year but have received a redundancy payment below the 30,000 taxable level. I am working in Dubai on a temp contract which I suspect will end at the end of December as I work in property and dont expect to be kept on. I was considering returning to the UK. Am I right in thinking that I wont be taxed on the income I have earned here as I will still be under the maximum number of days this tax year? - Much of what I have earned is in an off shore account now. I havent yet declared myself non resident in the UK as I wasnt sure if I would work or not in Dubai (and made a mess of the form and decided I could leave it until I go back there in December for christmas - not anticipating the property downturn here).
