Hi, my entire family is scheduled to relocate to the UK on October 11th. While my wife does not have any income, I have income from overseas sources. I intend to utilize the remittance basis for tax reporting. Upon our arrival in the UK on October 11th, we will apply for the NI number. After obtaining the NI number, should we immediately proceed with the self-assessment process, or do we have the option to complete it on or before October 5th, 2024?

Hi, I possess a British passport, although I was not born in the United Kingdom. I engage in remote work for my Hong Kong-based company, which means that my earnings are considered foreign income. I spend approximately half to two-thirds of my time in the UK, while the remainder is split between Hong Kong and other countries. In addition to the UK, I maintain a permanent address in Hong Kong. I am aware that I am regarded as a tax resident in the UK, but I would appreciate clarification regarding the necessity of paying National Insurance (NI). If it is not required, could you kindly inform me of the process for obtaining an exemption?
