Expat & International Advice Fees

1 X Person Package: Leaving the UK will involve dealing with HM Revenue and Customs and the Department for Work and Pension is closing off your affairs.

You can do this yourself but it does takes time.  HMRC's Centre for Non-Residents has significant backlogs and it may prove easier for us to help you rather than you making lengthy international calls and waiting in call handling queues to try and get matters sorted, particularly if you are the other side of the World.  We will deal with:

• Your Official Departure from UK with notification/dealings with HMRC and The Pensions Agency (Department for Work and Pensions)
• Not retired yet?
  • State Pension Protection - securing State Pension Forecasts
  • Voluntary National Insurance Contributions - do you need to pay them?  Some countries have social security treaties with the UK, others do not.
• Already retired? 
  • State pension, private pension and company pensions in payment, taxation, analysis of UK tax treaty with your destination country
  • Dealing with HMRC on pensions in payment remaining in UK for UK taxation, tax code changes if any, payments etc.
• Non-Residents Landlord’s (NRL) Scheme - if you are keeping a UK property, it is the law that your Property Managing Agent or Tenant must withold income taxes from rents if you have not registered as a NRL.
• Does not include: Wills, Reviewing existing pensions/investments or transferring pensions/investments before departure or UK Tax Returns on assets left in UK.

We will secure information to protect your UK State Pension entitlement and also to include completion of relevant tax forms for leaving UK, to work towards non-UK Resident status with HMRC, to deal with HMRC non-resident landlords scheme forms (if applicable) and to put you in a position to be able to achieve full non-UK Ordinarily Resident status (if applicable).

More than one person? If both you and your partner are leaving the UK, you can select the number of people 'leaving UK' required as 2 if your partner also needs the same.

Before you leave the UK, you may also wish to think about:  Wills (for UK Assets) and Existing Policy Reviews and Tax Returns.
