Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone would be able to give me some advice?

I moved to Orlando, FL in February 2018 having received an intra-company transfer with my company. My husband has only just received his EAD last weekend. Someone in Payroll at work mentioned that I need to be aware that I have to file taxes in the UK. Why would that be, I would've thought it was all done automatically? I understand I need to file taxes here come January-March but I didn't realise that I would need to worry about what was going on back in the UK.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

You could probably just submit a P86 to let HMRC know you moved away. You might get a refund since you left during the tax year.

A more complicated answer would involve SRT and split year treatment but based on what you said a P86 might be sufficient. However, it also depends on how long you'll be away.

Did they say why? How long are you in the US for?
