If I obtain the UK citizenship, then I live & work abroad for some years, do I need to pay UK tax for the income / gains outside UK during those years?

Hi SFWong,
It depends on your actual tax residence for the years concerned as you will pay tax in the country that you are tax resident.
Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. I would like to clarify if my understanding is correct by taking an example below. Take the example that I live & work abroad in HK for a financial year (i.e. I live in UK less than 183 days), so I am the tax resident of HK (but not UK). I will pay HK tax, but not UK tax. However, if I transfer the income from HK to UK, do I need to pay any UK tax? Thank you.
