53. How The UK’s Statutory Residence Test Works, And How You Can Stay Compliant | Ask An Expert with Aidan Grant
The UK has moved to a residency-based tax system, and the rules aren’t just complex, they’re strict. Whether you’re planning to return home full-time or just thinking about splitting your time between the US and the UK, this episode is essential listening.
Richard Taylor is joined by listener favourite and raconteur Aidan Grant – a partner in the tax and trust estate team at Collyer Bristow. Aidan and Richard explore:
· How the UK’s Statutory Residency Test (SRT) works (and how easy it is to trip over it)
· The four key ties HMRC uses to determine how many days you can spend in the UK
· Why pre-arrival tax planning is still critical, even under the new system
· What happens if you inadvertently trigger UK tax residency
· When and how to claim split year treatment or treaty relief
· The four-year ‘foreign income and gains’ regime, and how to use it strategically
· Why staying under the threshold in early years can protect you from UK inheritance tax down the line
If you're a Brit in America considering a return home, or even just thinking of spending part of the year working in the UK, this episode could save you a lot of money, time, and stress.
