Statutory Residence Test (SRT) Review
Full assessment of your UK residency status using HMRC criteria
Expat Tax Services
Moving to the UAE? Your UK Tax Doesn’t Stop Automatically
We help UK nationals and expats navigate HMRC obligations, apply the Statutory Residence Test correctly and file accurate UK self assessment returns — wherever you are based.
Leaving the UK Doesn’t
Automatically End Your
Tax Obligations
Many expats assume that moving to the UAE means they are no longer subject to UK tax — but this is not always the case.
Your UK tax position depends on residency status, income sources and how your move is structured. Getting it wrong can lead to unexpected tax bills, penalties and HMRC enquiries.
- Uncertainty around UK tax residency
- Misunderstanding the Statutory Residence Test (SRT)
- Ongoing tax on UK income (property, dividends, pensions)
- Missed self assessment filings
- Risk of penalties and backdated tax liabilities
Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away — it usually makes it worse.

Frequently Asked
Questions
The Statutory Residence Test (SRT) is HMRC's framework for determining whether you're considered a UK tax resident for a particular tax year. It takes into account factors such as the number of days you spend in the UK, your work pattern and your personal ties to the UK.
Possibly. Living in the UAE does not automatically remove your UK filing obligations. If you receive UK taxable income, are required by HMRC to file, or have specific reporting obligations, you may still need to submit a UK Self Assessment tax return.
No. Simply leaving the UK does not automatically change your tax residency. Your residency status depends on the Statutory Residence Test and your individual circumstances, including your UK ties and the amount of time you spend in the UK.
Even if you are non-UK resident, certain types of income may remain subject to UK tax. This can include UK rental income, some employment income, pensions and other UK-source income. We assess your circumstances to determine your UK tax obligations.
Yes. We regularly assist expats who have outstanding Self Assessment returns or unresolved HMRC matters. We can help bring your affairs up to date, minimise penalties where possible and communicate with HMRC on your behalf.
Yes. With your authorisation, we can communicate directly with HMRC, respond to enquiries, manage correspondence and handle matters relating to your Self Assessment and UK tax position.
In many cases, yes. UK rental income generally remains taxable in the UK, even if you live overseas. We can advise on your reporting obligations and assist with the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme where applicable.
Your tax position should be reviewed whenever your circumstances change, such as moving country, returning to the UK, buying or selling property, changing employment or receiving new sources of income. Regular reviews help ensure ongoing compliance and tax efficiency.
