      Step 3

      Free initial consultation and clear next steps

      Your adviser contacts you for a free initial consultation to explain your UK tax position in plain English and answer your questions. Together you’ll agree a practical plan to keep your UK tax affairs up to date and take the nightmare hassle of dealing with HMRC away from your digital nomad dream, so you can focus on living and working abroad.

      Our Services

      UK Tax Residency & Statutory Residence Test

      Understanding when you are UK‑resident for tax is the foundation of everything else. Your adviser will review your days in and out of the UK, your ties, work pattern and long‑term plans to determine your position under the Statutory Residence Test, and explain exactly what that means for your tax obligations.

      UK Self Assessment for Digital Nomads

      ​Many digital nomads still need to file UK Self Assessment returns, even when most of their life is abroad. Your adviser can confirm whether you need to file, complete or correct past returns, claim any appropriate reliefs and make sure your income is reported correctly to HMRC.

      Working Remotely for a UK Employer

      If you are employed by a UK company but working from another country, the rules can be confusing. Your adviser will clarify where your salary should be taxed, how PAYE interacts with your overseas position and what, if anything, you need to tell HMRC or your employer.

      Running a UK Limited Company from Overseas

      Many nomads keep a UK limited company while they live abroad. Your adviser can help you understand director and shareholder tax implications, profit extraction, double taxation risks and any permanent establishment issues in the country where you are actually based.

      UK Property, Rental Income and Disposals

      Owning or selling UK property while living overseas creates specific UK tax obligations. Your adviser can guide you through non‑resident landlord rules, how to report UK rental income, and what needs to be done if you sell a UK property while you are abroad.

      HMRC Letters, Enquiries and Disclosures

      If you have received a letter, nudge or enquiry from HMRC, or you are worried you may have under‑declared income, it is important to act quickly and correctly. Your adviser can review the position, explain your options and, where necessary, help you make a voluntary disclosure or negotiate with HMRC.

      Planning Before You Leave the UK

      If you have not yet left the UK – or are planning a more permanent move – early planning can make a significant difference. Your adviser can help you structure your departure, understand when you cease UK tax residence and consider timing issues around salary, bonuses, dividends or asset disposals.

      Ongoing Support as Your Situation Changes

      Digital nomad life rarely stands still. Your adviser can provide ongoing support as you change countries, switch from employment to contracting, or alter how your business is structured, helping you stay on the right side of HMRC as your lifestyle evolves.

      Digital Nomad Tax Health Check

      A concise review designed for UK digital nomads, remote workers and expats who want a clear picture of where they stand with HMRC. Your adviser will look at your travel pattern, work setup, UK ties, property and company interests, then outline any filing gaps, risks and planning opportunities in a simple action plan you can follow.

      • Confirm your UK tax residency status under the Statutory Residence Test

      • Identify missed or future UK filing requirements (returns, property, company, PAYE)

      • Highlight potential exposure to penalties and where early disclosure may help

      • Suggest practical next steps to keep you compliant while you live and work abroad

      The questions we get asked most

      1. Can I appeal a tax assessment?

      Yes. You have 30 days to appeal or request an HMRC internal review. If you still disagree, you can take the case to the independent Tax Tribunal.

      2. Do I need a solicitor for a tax investigation?

      In most cases, no — experienced tax investigation specialists (chartered tax advisers or accountants with deep HMRC enquiry expertise) are the ideal choice for handling the majority of investigations, including complex compliance enquiries and COP9 contract settlements.

      These specialists excel in technical resolution, negotiation with HMRC, and achieving the best outcomes through voluntary disclosures and settlements.

      A solicitor is typically only required if the case escalates to a criminal investigation (e.g., serious fraud allegations with potential prosecution). In those rare situations, solicitors provide legal professional privilege (protecting confidential communications from disclosure to HMRC — which accountants/advisers do not have) and full rights of audience in court.

      For the best result, many cases benefit from a coordinated approach: a tax investigation specialist leading on compliance and strategy, supported by a solicitor where criminal risk emerges.

      3. What is tax investigation help?

      Specialist support from experienced tax investigation advisers — often chartered tax advisers, accountants, or former HMRC inspectors now in private practice — who guide you through HMRC enquiries, COP9 procedures, and voluntary disclosures.

      These specialists help reduce stress, manage document requests, negotiate with HMRC, and work to minimise penalties and financial risk, often achieving the best possible outcome through compliance or settlements.

      In rare cases involving potential criminal allegations, a solicitor may be involved for additional protection (e.g., legal privilege).

      – Company director, North West

      “Ignored the first letter – big mistake. Second letter threatened prosecution. They stepped in, turned it around, and it finished civil. Wish I’d called on day one.”
