[Music] foreign UK tax and the overseas income really depends on your residency status if you're a UK resident for tax purposes you have to pay tax on your Global income and whether that be a rental from some in Europe or dividends from uh for overseas company or just a job that you're working overseas but you're still based in the UK to work out whether you're a UK resident you have to look at the statutory residency tests and there's three groups of tests each consistent three tests really and one's being the first being the overseas tests if you meet any of those you're an automatic overseas resident you just have to worry about your UK income being taxed in the UK the next group UK automatic tests and if you meet those you're a UK resident you pay tax on your Global income through a self-assessment tax return the last set are relevant ties tests and that really looks at how closely tied you are to the UK based on the number of days you spend here in a tax year once you've figured out if you're a UK resident um you need to look at whether there's a double taxation agreement for the the country where the income is coming from and that sort of sets the rules on how the tax how you're being taxed in the UK on that so the other thing I wanted to talk about was foreign tax credit relief and the way that works is you have to work out the tax UK tax that's on your overseas income compare that to the overseas tax you paid and the credit is sort of worked out as the lower of your your UK tax that's due and the foreign tax that you've paid if foreign taxes paid as higher you sort of Miss out and you just get the relief for the UK tax due and if there's a and if it's the other way around and your foreign tax is lower you have to pay the UK tax to bring it up um and then it's done the other thing to think about is domiciliary status if you're not from the UK um that has a different set of rules and they're a bit more complicated and so you should speak to an advisor to look at your independent situation
