    If he is not out of the Uk for a complete tax year, he will be liable to Uk tax on his worldwide earnings. I imagine there is a double taxation agreement between the Uk and Russia, in which case, he will get credit in the Uk for any Russian tax paid.

    Because of the flat tax regime, UK rates are normally higher than Russian rates, so do remind him to save to pay the UK tax ...
