Hi all, long time reader, very occasional poster.
A week before the deadline, my girlfriend's mum has decided to think about her tax return and has asked for my advice (god help me). I work in a larger accounting firm, but this is outside my recent experience so I would appreciate confirmation (or otherwise) of my thoughts.
Details; Individual is UK citizen & UK dom but resident in the Dutch Caribbean. There is no tax treaty with the UK. The 'personal allowance' out there is USD275,000, so local taxes will be nil.
UK state pension - taxable
UK private pension - taxable, other than initial tax free lump sum (15/16 was the first year she took anything from a private pension)
UK rental income, registered under NRL scheme - taxable
Does that seem right?

Only hint of caution - not sure but would check with private pension company to make sure lump sum remains non-taxable if client not resident for tax purposes.
Not sure why my mind thinks otherwise but they will know. Just because they didn't tax it doesn't mean they realised she was non-resident
