Moving back to the UK from abroad and bringing back income earned

Hi team, I wasn't a resident for the previous tax year and worked full time abroad. I have been a UK tax payer in 4 out of the 5 years before. I will be moving back to the UK in September during this tax year. I would like to transfer all the income I earned to my UK bank account when I move back (all money was earned from employment income). Is this taxable? Is any employment income earned between April and September in the foreign country taxable in the UK? Thank you

Hi,
Any foreign income arising in tax years that you were not UK tax resident, will not be taxable if brought into the UK.  
Any foreign income arising in tax years you were UK tax resident, is taxable in the UK.  
If you have already paid that tax, there will be no further tax implications on bringing the capital into the UK.
Thank you.

Hi, I am currently residing in foreign country which is a tax free country. When I move back to the UK, I would like to know if I transfer my income to my uk bank account, would I need to pay tax on the employment income I have earnt abroad?

Hi Questions,
Tax is not due on the the capital, but any interest or dividends that this then generates needs to be reported. 
Thank you. 


 

Hi I returned to the uk after working abroad and will be claiming split year treatment additionally I was working in a country that does not charge tax. I would like to bring back my savings to the uk that were all earned from employment income. Am I right in thinking that I will need ro declare all interest gained after returning on September also that no tax will be due on the capital. Thank you

Hi,
Yes that is correct.
Thank you

Ok thanks if I gained interest in a uk bank account for savings before September will I need to pay tax on this

Hi ,
 

Yes.  The income arose in the UK, so it remains taxable, even if split year treatment is claimed.

Thank you .

Hi I am thinking of returning to the uk from working aboard in a tx free country, if I return before the end of this tax year would I need to pay tax on my earnings this year

Hi, I am considering a job offer in a tax free country (Qatar). Whilst working overseas, is any remittance subject to tax in the UK if I am non resident? If I move back to the UK within 5 years, are the savings generated from employment in Qatar taxable on my return to the UK? thanks.

Hi Mark Hollinshead,
If you qualify for split year then you only report any foreign income for the UK part of the year. You can see the guidance here:
RDRM12000 - Residence: The SRT: Split year treatment
If you do not qualify, then you will need to report all your foreign income to the UK. You can see more information here:
Tax on foreign income
The guidance below will help you work out if split year treatment applies.

Thank you.

Hi Javier Rangel,

Thank you.

Hi, I have been working abroad since 2022 but unfortunately due to redundancy I now intend to relocate back to the UK in the near future. I am not required to work my notice period so have the option to return back to the UK immediately. If I was to do that, would my foreign income (YTD and also notice period - paid monthly) be subject to UK tax if I return before the end of this tax year? Would split tax year treatment be applicable if I am still being paid monthly as part of my notice period? Also, is the 90 day ruling relevant under these circumstances? Thank you for your guidance.
