Taxation moving home from the UK

    Hi,

    I've moved home after living in the UK for the last few years where I was tax resident.

    The tax year in the UK is April to April and I was a Paye worker. I finished up in August and moved back to tax up a job in Ireland where the tax year is different.

    Anyone do something similar and can advise in terms of whether I might be due a tax refund (or owe tax!). Is it worth seeking professional advice on the matter?

    Thanks.

    Getting a tax refund from the UK?

    If their system is like ours, then you can apply for split year treatment. Tell HMRC that you have left the country permanently, and want to apply for a refund of any overpaid tax

    Hi gerrybbad,

    Thanks for that - what I'm wondering is whether it's worthwhile doing so? i.e. claiming back all tax in the UK and then paying in Ireland instead as the tax levels are higher here than in the UK?

    If you are resident here, you won't have a choice where you get to pay your tax. Same goes for the UK.

    So, if you are here permanently, you will be taxable here.
