Implications of taking secondment abroad

Heya,
I'll be taking soon a 6-month secondment abroad. However, my wife and three little children will remain here. I wonder what implications will this have on my family in regard to NHS use and access to different public services. What about any tax I am due to pay. Should I contact HMRC? What about the money I'll be earning abroad, will they be taxed if I transfer them into my existing Bank account? My employer will stop paying my salaries during my secondment.
All the best wishes

This is a discussion board about PPI I'm afraid.0

Is there any section of this forum or elsewhere where my query can be relevant? Thank you0

The employment or tax boards would be a good place to start.0

No implications at all for your family. Are you still being paid in the UK? If so there are no UK tax implications either.0

There will be no implications whatsoever to your family. Why should there be?
You should obtain professional advice about tax payable on your income abroad. In theory you should declare this income on your UK tax return as foreign income but if it is already taxed at source there may be a double taxation agreement in place.0
