P85 Form - Living abroad while still working for my UK Employer.

Hi there, I need some advice/guidance what form/s to complete. I moved to the UK in January 2023 but due to personal circumstances I needed to return to South Africa at the end of December 2023. I am working remotely full time for my UK employer since leaving the UK and it's the only salary that I'm earning. I am still being paid via the company payroll to my UK account. I plan to return to the UK for 3 weeks max per tax year whilst carrying out work duties for my UK Employer. I am told that I need to complete a P85 Form so that I am not double-taxed as I would at some point have to pay tax in South Africa. 1. Do I need to complete a P85 Form? 2. The online form asked me to confirm if I want to "submit a claim now". Do I need to complete this? 3. On the "Make a payment to you" it asks for an address to send a payable order. Can I add my UK employer's address for this, or do I use the overseas address I provided? 2. It asks if I have parts 2 and 3 of P45? I have to say "no" as I am still employed by my UK Employer, right? Thank you.

Hi Ahmed_ZA,
Yes, you should complete the online form P85, to declare that you have left the UK and that you have live employment with a UK employer.
If HMRC need to repay tax to you, it will be in the form of a payable order, which can only be cashed in a UK bank.
If you provide a UK address, this is where the payable order will be posted to.
You may wish to use the address of trusted family or friends.  as you do not have a P45, you would select no.
Thank you. 

Hi HMRC Admin, I have a follow up question: Do I need to complete the Form DT-Individual (Double Taxation Treaty Relief), which authority needs to stamp it and what would be the next steps? Thank you.

Hi Ahmed_ZA,
If already sending the P85, then no.
Thank you.
