WORKING
ABROAD
Paying
your taxes
Normally,
if you work abroad you are still treated as a tax resident
of the UK. This basically means you will pay UK tax on anything
you earn overseas. However, it also means you get the same tax
allowances that you would receive in this country.
If
your overseas employer taxes you as well (and you aren't able
to claim it back directly from the foreign authorities), you
will be credited for this in the UK.
Important:
If you are already working in the UK, you will need to
fill in Form P85 and send
it to your Tax Office. This is to let HM Revenue & Customs
know that you are going to be out of the country, and it may
help in the future if you have any problems with foreign tax.
If you are not already working, there is no need to fill in
this form.
