Overseas Tax Advice – Personalised International Tax Planning for Expats and UK Residents
If you earn income or hold assets outside the UK, navigating the complexities of international tax can be overwhelming. From understanding double taxation agreements to structuring income and investments efficiently, having the right overseas tax advice is crucial to avoid penalties and save money.
At Audit Consulting Group, we specialise in international tax advice for individuals and business owners. Whether you live abroad, are planning to move overseas, or simply receive foreign income, our expert guidance will help you stay compliant while optimising your tax position.
Why International Tax Advice Matters
In today’s global world, more people have connections across borders – and so do their finances. You might:
- Live in one country but work remotely for a UK company
- Own property abroad
- Be a UK expat with pensions or investments back home
- Be planning to retire overseas
- Have foreign shares, dividends or trusts
Each situation brings its own set of tax rules, thresholds and reporting obligations – both in the UK and in the overseas jurisdiction. That’s where tailored international tax advice becomes vital.
Common Issues We Help With
Our team of chartered tax professionals works closely with you to tackle key challenges, including:
✔ How to avoid double taxation through treaties
✔ Tax implications of moving abroad or returning to the UK
✔ Declaring foreign income and capital gains to HMRC
✔ Setting up tax-efficient structures for property or business ownership abroad
✔ Planning around non-domicile (non-dom) or residency status
✔ Reporting and compliance for foreign bank accounts or trusts
We deliver international tax planning that works with your life — not against it.

FAQ – Overseas Tax Advice
What is international tax advice?
It’s guidance from professionals who understand how different countries’ tax rules interact. It helps individuals and businesses stay compliant while minimising tax exposure across borders.
Do I have to pay UK tax on foreign income?
If you are a UK tax resident, yes – but you may be eligible for relief under double tax agreements. That’s why getting proper overseas tax advice is so important.
What if I live abroad but have UK income?
Even if you’re a non-resident, UK-sourced income like rent or pensions may still be taxable here. We help you file the correct returns and claim any applicable reliefs.
How do I avoid double taxation?
The UK has tax treaties with over 130 countries. These treaties often allow you to offset tax paid in one country against what’s owed in another.
Can you help with tax if I move abroad?
Absolutely. We offer pre-departure tax planning and exit strategies, ensuring your move doesn’t trigger unexpected tax liabilities.
