I need some help please:
My K1 visa has been approved and passport returned to me, and my house has now sold. I have booked plane tickets for myself and the dog to leave in 36 days time.
Who do I need to inform in the UK? I assume it can't be just council tax?

When I left the UK I informed the tax credit people, but they just carried on paying money into my account. About a year later they sent me a demand for repayment. Just something to bear in mind...

Definitely file a P85 and also purge your finances of things that could be toxic for US taxation. So if you intend to pay off a mortgage or sell a house do it before you move and and sell investments held outside of pension plans.

Probably not the best way, but i just got up and left - cancelled all accounts & claimed a tax refund online a year later - had it sent to my dad instead and that was it

I changed my bank account to a non interest baring account with no fees. Got all but £2 in there.
