Here's a short introduction to our Tax section for the UK.The tax system in the UK
Taxes in your native country are complicated enough. Expatriate taxes can be totally confusing. Common questions addressed in articles on Expatica’s Tax channel include: ‘How does the income tax system in my new country of residence work?’, ‘Does my new country of residence tax expats or do tax rules back home still apply?’, ‘Where can I find a financial advisor specialising in expat tax issues?’, and ‘What about inheritance tax in my new country?’
Expatica’s articles offer tips including ‘Why Americans should never own shares in a non-US incorporated mutual fund’ and 'Back to basics - Canadian tax for expats' as well as basic information about the British tax system, such as national insurance, income tax on full-time employment and 'UK residence rules for tax purposes: The facts'. You can also read informal perspectives on tax such as Mr American in Britain discussing the Mind-boggling British tax system'. Expatica keeps you informed of any changes to the tax system via our British news and community news channels.
