Taxation if moving abroad mid year
Posted: September 2nd, 2021, 9:34 pm
I would be grateful for any guidance on the need to complete UK tax returns and how tax becomes liable for someone moving abroad for about 2 years.
My son is shortly heading off to New Zealand where he plans to stay and work, initially for 2 years. Having already worked and paid PAYE in the UK for 4 months this year we are not clear if he still needs to complete a UK tax return to report foreign income and a very modest dividend income that will arise while he is abroad. Is he still entitled to a full personal allowance here and would that mean he might get a refund of tax? Probably a bit optimistic. Does he need to report income earned in NZ to HMRC even though he is no longer in the UK?
We have tried reading the gov.uk website but frankly are none the wiser. Any pointers on where else to read or advice would be really appreciated.
