Tax-Efficient Planning for a Move Back to the UK
Martin Rimmer
International Tax Manager, The Fry Group

Most British expats in Hong Kong love the efficiency of the place, and especially the simplicity and cheapness of the tax system. However, moving from a low-tax country with a simple tax system to a high-tax country with one of the most evolved tax systems in the world is a daunting challenge.

For many there is a lot at stake, particularly where money has been made and wealth created during an expat career. Navigating the UK tax system with all of its nuances can be a bit like tiptoeing through a minefield, especially when you consider that in the worst cases, income tax can apply at 50%, capital gains tax at 28%, inheritance tax at 40% and of course the Revenue’s own guidance on many of these matters is a masterpiece of glorious ambiguity.

This talk will focus on the three best planning techniques which are must-knows for anyone who is serious about structuring their finances tax-efficiently in preparation for life in the UK. It is for anyone who is or may be considering a move back to the UK in the short and medium term.
