Tax Treatment of the Main Common Assets Left in the UK

Often the tax treatment of assets remaining in the UK are not considered. Once a UK tax resident has left the UK, it is generally too late to consider any tax planning and this may result in significant tax liabilities arising.

The main assets are:

• Property in the UK
• Investments (such as shares, cash in bank or building societies, ISAs, PEPs, Bonds, Endownments, and Life assurance).
• Personal Pensions
• State Pensions
