What are the chances of a tax investigation after paying tax and then leaving the UK?
I have a full time job arranged in the US and want to leave the UK with a clean slate, and pay all my dues before I go.
A few years back I had a relatively minor investigation, but nothing much came of it. It was a horrible experience though, and I wouldn't like to go through that again especially being hundreds of miles away! The revenue really do make you feel like a criminal.
I am currently self employed.
Thanks for any info.

Not too sure about the tax implications, but was just curious about your visa situation? You say you have a full time job arranged, what visa do you have to go along with that?

I guess its unlikely, especially if you are going to actually pay the tax. It may be different if you just walked away!
