Who It Is For

This guide is ideal for:
☑️ UK nationals living abroad (or planning to move)
☑️ Expats with UK property, pensions, or ties
☑️ Families with cross-border wealth and inheritance concerns
☑️ Individuals considering a return to the UK
☑️ Professionals and entrepreneurs working globally

Why Tax Planning Abroad requires Additional Due Diligence

Even if you’ve left the UK:

• HMRC may still claim tax on your UK income, pensions, or estate
• Cutting ties doesn’t automatically change your domicile position
• Tax treaties must be understood to avoid double taxation
• Offshore structures may be misused without professional guidance
• Returning to the UK could lead to retrospective tax issues if not planned for
