Liable for tax in the UK if i live abroad question ?

ukfarang

Hi everyone,

I would like to know my situation for being liable for tax and vat in the UK.

I have been living in Thailand permanently with a Thai limited company for 6 years so i am a non-resident in the UK, my business is selling goods on ebay and i use my UK ebay accounts, UK paypal accounts and UK bank accounts to receive all payments and all are registered in UK addresses, so am i exempt or liable for any tax in the UK using this method.

PS: its not an option to use Thai ebay accounts for my business because 1: its too difficult to sell on them and 2: they get suspended easily by ebay.

Thanks,

ukfarang

As a non Uk resident you are not liable to UK tax on your worldwide income.

TM1976

As you are not resident you are not liable for UK income tax.

If you sell more than £70k of stuff a year to the UK you should be charging VAT. Similar rules may apply to any other EU countries you sell to.
