Overseas Employment

Didn't find your answer?

Client will be leaving UK in next month to take up employment position in Dubai for three years and I presume that his 2008/09 tax return will include a claim for split year treatment so that this income will not need to be included within the tax return?

He will be renting out his main residence while he is away so again I presume I need to look at Non-Residents Landlords Scheme? Are there any other forms or notifications that need to be made to HMRC regarding his leaving the UK?

Thanking you all in anticipation of your kind assistance as always.

Hi Gemma
I don't believe the P85 is mandatory but I don't know for sure - if your client is leaving UK to work abroad for a period long enough to include an entire tax year he loses his residence status on the day he departs and hence can use the split year treatment in the year of departure thereby allowing the overseas income to drop out of charge to UK tax

Sorry Nick - Missed your reply
Re the P85 - is it necessary to complete this form or is the purpose of completion to make a claim of income tax shown on P45 before departure from UK in advance of any tax return completion? What I'm trying to say is - is this a mandatory notice of intention to leave the UK?

My client has already been issued with an NT code and form NRL1 has been submitted so that UK rental income may be received gross and tax paid upon completion of SA return in due course.

Think I need to go and read IR20 to which you refer in your other posting and hope my inexperience in this field doesn't leave you too exasparated!

Otherwise, am I correct that split year treatment may be claimed on 08/09 tax return so that overseas income may be omitted from the return?
