Remittance Basis

« Back to Glossary Index

The remittance basis is a way some UK residents with non-domiciled status can be taxed only on the foreign income and gains they bring (“remit”) to the UK, rather than their total worldwide income. It can reduce your UK tax bill if you have significant overseas income, but it comes with extra rules and, for longer-term residents, an annual charge.
