Non-resident tax questions

Dick_Turpin99

Can someone advise on the rulings on these points please?
Status is a UK resident but not-ordinarily UK resident.

1/ What does the Remittance Basis taxation apply to....is this only residents in UK (I.e. those who come to UK to work?)

2/ Are expenses that are incurred abroad and subsequently re-paid by the company liable for taxation?

thanks

I may be able to help with this as we deal a lot with non res in here. My hubby was non res too for many years (Ex forces)
Lot of things I need to know though before I can answer to above fully, can you inbox me if you would like me to take a look as I don't want to ask you personal questions on the open forum
I am an accountant, so you can trust me hoepfully!
Happy to help if I can

For now, this may help, in general
People, who are resident in the UK, but who are not ordinarily resident and/or not domiciled here, are entitled to claim the Remittance Basis of taxation. This means that, while they are taxed like other UK residents on their income and gains arising in the UK, they are also taxed on any income or gains they ‘remit’ to this country (bring into the UK from overseas). They are not taxed on their foreign income and gains which remain outside the UK. (A ‘gain’ is when something you own is sold for a profit.)

Not ordinarily resident

It is possible to be resident in the UK but also, at the same time, be not ordinarily resident. We regard people as being ordinarily resident if they come to the UK regularly and their visits average 91 days or more a tax year. The date from which we regard people as being ordinarily resident will depend on their intentions.

1. Read HMRC6
2. Claimable on Return if wholly exclusively and necessarily incurred

Can anyone help us please. We are UK Nationals currently living in Cyprus. Still being taxed by UK as Cyprus Inland Revenue will not process our applications because we do not have Residency (long story as to why not - but mainly because of my Cypriot Employer has not paid my Social Security - and without that I cannot apply for Residency).

We have UK income from renting a property and also husband's employment pension is being taxed. If we could arrange to be taxed here in Cyprus would be 5% as opposed to the 20% we are being charged by UK even though we have not lived there for over 3 years.

Many thanks

The form here -http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/double-taxation-treaty.htm would need to be used. However this needs to be certified by the foreign tax authority and if you are having problems with them then they may not authorise it.

It sounds as if you are still UK resident and fully taxable because there has been no settled purpose even if there has been a distinct break.

Who advised you that you were not UK resident and when?
