Hi All,
Hope you are well, newby here seeking advice.
Ive done some initial research, but would like direction on the following. I usually fill in a self-assessment tax return as am self employed. However this year i have moved to Asia as digital nomad and will be staying. I wish to inform HMRC that im now an expat, please advise? From research it appears after April 5 2023 i fill in my tax return for 2021/2022 and notify HMRC like that, as im not employed hence dont fill in the p85. Is this correct? Im unsure.
Many thanks in advance

I have the same question, actually is that ok if we notify HMRC (P85 form) after eg. 3-6 months or does it have to be before leaving the UK? Thanks
