  • Double taxation after moving from Germany to UK

    Hi team, I worked in Germany as an employee from July 2021 until June 2023, when I relocated to the UK to begin a new job. As I was tax resident in Germany as at June 2023, the German tax authorities required me to pay income tax for the entire tax year (January - December 2023), and I complied with this requirement. However, I also paid income tax to the UK authorities on the income I earned from my employment in the UK between June and December 2023. Consequently, I believe I have paid income tax on the same income to both the German and UK tax authorities for the period from June to December 2023. Could you please advise whether I am eligible to claim a refund for the double tax payments made to the UK authorities and, if so, how I should proceed? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
