UK Repatriation

Expert guidance for returning expats to ensure a smooth transition home

Returning to the UK after living abroad involves more than just packing your bags. Repatriation comes with significant financial considerations, from managing investments and pensions to understanding how your tax obligations will change.

Upon your return, you’ll once again be subject to UK tax laws, which will affect your income, assets, and investments. Understanding your residency status and the timing of your return is crucial for minimising tax liabilities. If you have overseas investments, it’s important to evaluate how they will be taxed in the UK and whether you should retain or sell certain assets for optimal tax efficiency.

Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) can help prevent the risk of being taxed twice on the same income, but careful planning is essential to maximise these benefits.

Additionally, managing international pensions like QROPS (Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes) and SIPPs (Self-Invested Personal Pensions) as well as utilising new UK permitted tax efficient vehicles is crucial.

Whether you’re dealing with investments, pensions, or other financial considerations, we’re here to help you make the most of your return to the UK

We are here to help guide you through these complexities, to ensure a seamless transition back to the UK.
