Hello, I work as a consultant for one of the United Nations agencies. My colleagues in other countries seem to be exempt from income tax as per the Specialized Agencies of the United Nations (Immunities and Privileges) Order 1974 No.1260? Is this the case for me in the UK? Thankful for any guidance.

Hi,
Please see guidance here regarding the exemption of tax for a UN official as it will depend on the grade.
If you are then tax exempt on this income then it will not need to be declared to us and the need for a self assessment tax return would not be needed. INTM860700 - Immunities and Privileges: Contents: International Organisations and,
INTM860720 - Employees of international organisations: claims by individuals.
Thank you.
