Those who have returned to the UK

Coming back to the UK after living overseas can feel like a reset — until you hit the questions

Am I UK resident again? What do I need to report? How are overseas accounts, investments, property and pensions treated now?

We help returning UK residents get everything structured correctly and reduce the risk of unpleasant surprises.

Who this is for

We support people returning to the UK from abroad.

You might be:
  • Moving back after working overseas or being an expat
  • Returning after retirement abroad
  • Bringing overseas savings/investments back to the UK
  • Unsure how UK residency applies in the year you return
  • Holding overseas property, pensions, trusts or investment accounts
  • Confused about what you need to declare and when

What tends to go wrong

Common issues after returning
  • Not planning the “split-year” position (where relevant)
  • Overlooking overseas income or gains that may become reportable in the UK
  • Bringing money back without understanding documentation and tax context
  • Keeping overseas structures that aren’t efficient or are hard to administer
  • Not reviewing pensions and investments for UK rules and suitability
  • Missing deadlines or paperwork because everything feels “in motion”
