Tax Aid for non-residents - the tax advantages of working abroad
If you work abroad you can save a lot of tax, even all of it! Most importantly: you have to determine your residency for tax purposes. In practice - your goal should be becoming a non-resident. In many respects this is the most effective form of tax planning.
UK Residency - what is my position? In the case of a full-time employment abroad, you'll be treated as non-resident from the day after you leave the UK if:
- Your absence and full-time employment abroad lasts at least one complete tax year, and
- Your return visits to the UK are less than 91 days per year over the period of your employment abroad.
How can I claim - do I need the SA Tax Return? Yes, if you work for a UK company overseas, you will normally continue to pay tax under PAYE, so you need the SA Tax Return to claim 100% of your tax back. Note: under certain exceptional circumstances you may be allowed to exceed the 91 day limit for visits to the UK. Also NOTE that in some cases you may be allowed to claim "split-year treatment" thus extending your non-residence into parts of a tax year when you were not located abroad all the time. However such claims must be handled very carefully - for more advice click here
Claiming a non-resident tax refund can be done by completing a few tax forms and sending them to the tax office. NOTE: you must have the P45/P60 vouchers from your employer(s). To ensure you get the maximum possible refund (usually 100%) and avoid mistakes and delays, we recommend that you use professional help.
