RE: UK tax residence for civil servants posted abroad
Hi Prior to being employed as a Crown Servant, I worked in Asia for 3 years. For my whole employment as a Crown Servant, 18+ years, I have been posted to Asia. Whilst I am non resident for tax purposes, based on the statutory residency test, I do have to pay income tax on my salary. My questions are. 1. Do I have to pay capital gains tax when I sell stocks and share funds that are held in the UK outside an ISA? 2 If I cash in the full amount of an Additional Voluntary Contribution pension, will I be taxed on it? Thanks
