Reply to: Non UK resident claiming expenses

[Fred Bloggs]

You can (and probably will) be resident in both the UK and AUS. The terms of the DTA will govern who taxes what and what reliefs and offsets are available.

What is claimable against the relevant taxes may be different in both regimes.

I understood the ATO rates are higher than the UK and they tax worldwide income. So I reckon the OP will pay tax in the UK then pay the difference to the ATO.

Well I'm in the mood for something mad ..getting bored with my current situation ..but more important the money is better -flying time to Venice 2hrs -Guinness in Ireland even closer !!
..besides ..whats so bad about UK ? ..Ive lived there before & never had any issues & I enjoyed my time there

There's no f******g jobs! If you're in O&G, forget about it, seriously.

I've just come back from Australia, and you must be mad to leave there to come work here.

yep, correct assumption
Ive no idea on tax rules ...ie resident / tax resident/non domiciled etc etc.

Would it be any different if I became a resident in an EU country ?

The OP fails the tests of "wholly and exclusively for the purpose of trade". So, no he cannot claim.

We have no idea because we are already here. I'd check an ex-pats forum or something locally to you so you can ask people in a similar situation to yourself.

He's talking about about setting up shop and living and working on the UK. Im making the assumption this this would be for 6 months+, otherwise not worth the trip.
Hence my short answer.

The mind boggles at why anyone from Australia would ever want to come here to work?

Walkabout are always hiring, or so it seems.

[meridian]

The short answer is likely to be "No".

What will the setup be? Ltd company registered in England & Wales? Umbrella?

Where will you physically be when you do the work? If it's the UK, how many days per year will you be here? Do you understand the difference between ordinarily resident and tax resident? Domiciled vs non-domiciled?

[northernladuk]

Short answer, no.

Slightly longer answer, it depends.

[MrMarkyMark]

Short answer, no.
