FAQs
The tax laws and obligations that apply to people who don’t live in the UK but have assets or income there are referred to as non-UK resident taxes. This covers inheritance taxes, capital gains taxes, and income taxes.
Income from UK sources, such as rental income from UK real estate, wages from UK jobs, and UK pension income, may be subject to UK taxation for non-residents. If they sell assets in the UK, they might also have to pay capital gains tax.
Under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme (NRLS), non-resident landlords’ rental income from the UK is taxable in the UK. Basic rate tax must be subtracted from rental income by the letting agent or tenant and paid to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

Yes, capital gains tax is due when non-UK citizens sell or otherwise dispose of residential property in the UK. As of April 2019, this has expanded to include UK commercial real estate as well as indirect sales of UK real estate, like stock in a business whose value is derived from real estate in the UK.
The UK tax residency status of an individual is ascertained through the Statutory Residence Test (SRT). It takes into account variables like the duration of stays in the UK, connections there, and the reason for travel. The SRT assists in determining whether a person is a resident or a non-resident of the UK for tax purposes.
If non-residents of the UK have gains or income subject to UK tax, such as capital gains from UK assets or income from employment or rental income, they may be required to file a UK Self-Assessment tax return.
